Ok. Now for the next 5 houses.
At this point I was looking forward to seeing more houses, but I was also tired just thinking about ANOTHER full day of talking haha! Also, at the end of this day we had to choose Our top 6 choices on the computers and I was a little nervous about this because I really wanted to make the right choice.
Ok. The first house I arrived at was Quarter Horse. At first glance I thought.. BARBIE DOLL! I'm not into that so much but I was going to give them a chance anyway because I'm usually really good at getting along with just about anyone. So we all went in and started talking with our first QH. This QH was nice and it didn't really seem too fake to me.. if it was then she was very good at hiding it lol! So she proceeded to tell me about all the activites they do and how well they do in them. She also pointed out that they typically have a pretty good average GPA level. I could also tell, just by talking to her and looking at her that they clearly enjoyed partying and getting out. So they managed to have a good time but also study to keep their grades up. This was a plus. We then moved from the kitchen to the basement. While I was sittting with QH1 another QH bumped her. Turned out this girl was the president of QH. It was kind of exciting to be able to talk to the president and actually have a good conversation. It almost went as well as the Appaloosa! These two girls changed my opinion of these "barbie dolls" into a more positive one. So I left QH with a little star next to the name in my notes (for the decision making that night).
Next was Chinoteague. When they came out to sing their welcoming song I thought.... what kind of house is this exactly?? There were "Barbies" and then there were the "not-so-barbies" to put it nicely. I was kind of confused.. I can only remember talking to one girl in particular. I would put her in the dead center of the barbie/not barbie spectrum (sorry I keep using Barbie as a description). She was incredibly nice and very easy to talk to. I could tell that all them REALLY loved their house and there were great sisterly bonds! They seemed to be more divided into "parties" and "studiers" then the inbetweeners.. I didn't know if this would cause clicks or if they meerly just had that difference but still all hung out as one (which seemed to more the case). I also saw one of my TA's! So this was kind of cool being able to see a familiar face. Going back to the bus I had an alright feeling about ChT and it got a little half star lol
Mmmkk... the following house that we came to was Friesian. This house had the reputation of being the "not so popular" house. I felt bad that they had that reputation. They were nice girls but they didn't really know how to socially intereact very well. Conversations were pretty slow, they didn't really know what to talk about or how to bring up information about their house and it was just awkward. What they lacked in what society would call beauty (sounds horrible and it's sad), they made up for in good attitudes, sweet personalities, and great Friesian pride. They really weren't the type of girls that you find at a fraternity or club because they just weren't into that kind of thing. Anyway, we were off to the next house.
Now it was time for Palomino. The first thing I noticed was the actual house. I just thought it was the nicest looking. They had a really cute intro song, but again, like QH, I thought Barbie doll and hoped that they would also change my mind once conversation started. I was first picked up by a girl who didn't really look very barbie-like which was a plus haha! She was so nice and constantly smiling. This house was very similar to QH.. the only difference was that it was a different group of girls basically! They had a good balance of being able to go out but also keep a fairly high average GPA level. Even though the girls I talked to were really nice and were still able to keep conversation flowing, we, personally, didn't have anything in common. But overall I really liked this house and it also got a little star reminder.
Now, finally the last house of the day!! We rolled up to Clydesdale! I don't remember my first impression of this house at all.. I just remember talking to a girl who looked like Lily Finnerty and was so nice! She was easy to talk to and the conversation kept going. They seemed like they kind of had a weird mix of people though. Like it was a combination of different houses which I felt might result in clicks. They had a pretty good GPA average though and still seemed to go out and have fun. I don't know, the girls were cool but I just felt like I wouldn't enjoy this house as much as some of the others.
When we went back to choose houses my top 6 were::
(ones i wanted) QH, Pal, App, TB
(2 that were fillers) ChT (this was borderline) and Cld
**Next post will have the ones i was invited back to and Ponies 1-5's views and houses they went back to
P.S.
Do you have any idea where I'm a legacy or where I ended up?!?
