Day 3 – Values Day

The day started out a little rocky. The princess woke up late, plus it was coming a down pour. I told her the best part about it: it’s pouring raining for every other PNM as well. She reminded me, “but, I’m getting sick?!?” Smile and push through! We also talked about potentially not getting a full schedule, and I reminded her that it only takes ONE!

She was invited back to 8!

Cabernet Sauvignon
Chablis
Pinot Grigio
Moscato
Chardonnay
Port
Merlot
Pinot Noir


The sent me a text with her schedule I think before she even looked at it! She was excited to be invited back to 8! Here is how the text went:

Me – Congrats! That’s awesome! Are some of your favs listed?

Princess - Syrah isn’t. I’m sad about that. Neither is Sauvignon Blanc and I loved them too. But I got Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon and Moscato.

Me: Just remember they may have a ton of legacies and it doesn’t mean they are saying no to you, just others they are saying yes to because of things we may not be aware of. Give the ones you ranked lower a second chance! It only takes one in the end! Put on your best face and just be YOU!

Princess: Okay!

Me: I reminded her of a few others that she liked and sometimes it helps you from having to make tough decisions! She agreed she had a great schedule!


Her good friend down the hall dropped. She only wanted Syrah or Sauvignon Blanc. And her other friend only got 3 invites backs.

She chose this time before her parties started to watch Greys Anatomy! I am certain this was the first of many poor college choices! ☺



Party time!

She didn't call this day and I got texts between houses. I am just copying those verbatim for you.

Cabernet Sauvignon – Like 1st girl and had a great connection with her. 2nd was less of a connection but still there. Video was cute, but wish it could’ve been a skit.

Chablis – it was a decent time. Good conversation, but it sounded like they study mostly and are not too big into Greek traditions. Good Philanthropy!

Pinot Grigio – LOVED their skit! It was sooo cute. Since they are a new house, they really stressed leadership opportunities for freshmen. Coversation wasn’t as good as I would have liked and didn't feel a connection with the girls I talked to, but I liked the house nonetheless.

Moscato – LOVED and still my FAVORITE! Connected with all the girls and learned about philanthropy and academic accountability.

Chardonnay – LOVED Really loved the skit and connected with my second and third girl well!

Port – really good skit and decent convos

Merlot – LOVED! Merlot is my FAVORITE HOUSE by far! I’m in LOVE! Every girl I talked to I just loved!

Pinot Noir – No texts

I finally got a text to say she had blisters, was tired and going to bed. WAIT! Did you not use the blister block I spent days looking for? Yes, on my heals, but I got them on the top of my feet?

I'm stunned.

Mom, I'm tired and need to go to bed.

And that was the end of Day 3!
