just a thought

buenas noches chicas :)

i am sitting at home, playing on facebook, procrastinating and wondering why i can not make myself write these two essays for the application for an internship that i (so i proclaim) reeeeally really want.
and then i was reading the news paper online and i came across this and i just want to share it because it just put me in my place.

i know how hard times are for some of us right now and for so many millions of others, too. and i know that everyone has a different experience of the world, the economy, etc. right now. some of you may not even notice or have real concern about what is happening to, basically, the world right now.

and here at home, here in phi mu, we are so quick to get upset about little things, to judge people when we really do not need to, to get angry or gossip about things or people when we do not know the facts, to make little issues BIG issues when they maybe do not need to be BIG issues, to create problems that may not in fact need to even be problems.

and we are so lucky, you guys. we are so lucky because we have each other and we have such great opportunities and adventures ahead of us. and of course there are things to get upset about, things to worry about, things to be angry about. i just want us to value the things that we do have and create more good things, for ourselves and for each other.

if you watched that video, and you should, you will hopefully know where i am trying to go with this because i may just be rambling...

i just want us, as a sorority and as a sisterhood, to be a family as best as we can because sometimes, family is all you've got. and most of the time, it is what really matters :)
