I was just reading

and I was thinking about the similarities between her story and my own.
When I didn't receive an invite back to pref during rush I was devistated. I could see the positives of the situation, but it still sucked to get cut from everywhere.
I now realize that not joining a sorority has caused a chain of events that I know will positively effect my college experience. Since I didn't rush a sorority I had sooo much free time. I found out that I could still join colorguard late (it is my biggest passion but I didn't think I would have time and college marching band is drastically different from high school. I thought this was negative but it turns out to be avery positive thing). I had so much free time and I was only hanging out with 2 people ALL of the time. I felt like I was on the edge of depression. Not just from not getting into a sorority, but also because I wasn't making any new friends and had nothing to do.
So I joined colorguard after much debate with myself. It turned out to be a wonderful decision for me for the second time in my life. Since joining guard I have met so many new people. I have decided to change my major to arts administration and I am very excited about it (I wouldn't have known about it except for the people I met in band). And now I AM joining a sorority, that I wouldn't have known about or been eligdible for with out marching band. I cannot wait to start rushing SAI next semester.
I realize that this is kind of a long rambling post, but overall I would just like to say thank you to everyone who encouraged me along the way and told me to keep searching for my place!
Thank you so much everyone!
