    It’s not SO bad. You can start a new adventure, move to a new city (close enough to a great chapter/house, of course!), get a job you love, and spoil the MESS out of an entire house. It’s like having a billion new littles. Prepping for recruitment as a fairy-godmother-alumnae has been the highlight of my last few weeks. It’s definitely lame not being active any longer, but being alum, loving a new house, and serving your sisters (and spoiling them!!) is DEFINITELY super-sweet and a true perk to graduating and entering the real world. Chin up, ladies! Sisterhood is for LIFE!

  • rose_and_white 12 years ago on 10 Beauty Products Every Girl Should Have

    Mary Kay products are too expensive for the quality (or lack there of). In my opinion, their cosmetics are of equal or lesser quality than drugstore brands, especially their lip products (the color payoff is terrible and cheap-looking). If I’m going to get drugstore quality, I’m going to pay drugstore prices and save Daddy’s money for nicer products. And MK makes my otherwise perfect skin break out sooo badly. I want to love MK because a few of our Alumnae are reps now, but MK is a “no go” for me. There is no way one can honestly compare MK to high-end cosmetics!

    There are plenty of Alum on here. There’s even a post-grad section under the discussion tab. Being active in your local Alumnae chapter and spoiling the girls at the house at the university nearest to you are some of the best things about graduating…not that I need to justify myself to someone so unkind. I’m over this conversation.

    I’m graduating with my Masters in a year and I am in the application process for a PhD. I can do all of that, make a darn good sandwich, AND maintain my manicure. If THAT equates to your idea of an MRS, then I’d say I’m having great luck with my degree, “bitches” (TSM!!). Good heavens. Maybe you need to ignore your Big’s advice and have a drink!

    Heavens! I can barely play Mario Kart SOBER with the children I babysit. I can’t imagine playing drunk. Have you driven on Rainbow Road?!

    And I’m always the Princess, too. At least I look cute when I fly off the edge of the track 😉

    If Dead Week is so stressful that it prevents you from maintaining a manicure (or spending 3 minutes with a cotton ball and bottle of polish remover) then, well, bless your heart.

    The way this photo is captioned implies that this photo/work is yours and/or you are trying to pass it off as yours. If you like the idea and you want to remember it so you can do it “in a few months”, pin it; Don’t post it on TSM with a vague caption.

    “Jesus wants us to splurge on Sunday”?? Seriously… Where is that in the Bible? I know you said your priest said it, but that concept is just not biblical. Jesus died on the cross to pay the blood-price that our sins cost. We deserve death, but our mighty Savior covers that penalty with His blood. Jesus died on the cross to redeem us and to pay for our sins, NOT to let us party or to have a “day off”. That is NOT what the Sabbath means. His death (and subsequent resurrection) was to restore us to the Father and the result should be praise and worship…not splurging on Sunday because “Jesus wants to give us a day off” or “we can do whatever we want because Jesus already paid for it”. Gracious. I’m not saying I’m perfect and I’m not saying that I’ve not participated in my share of debaucheries…but this argument is over RELIGION and WORKS and practices and TRADITIONS of man–all of which amount to “filthy rags” (to quote the Apostle Paul) in comparison to Jesus’ righteousness. It’s not about knowing your religion or following your church’s rules–it’s about knowing God–through Christ, by the work of His Spirit, and revealed through Scriptures.
