Hi all readers,
To those of you who have no idea who I am, I'm Jackie. For our first encounter these are the basics: I've grown up and lived in a medium sized community 6 miles away from campus my whole life. I guess you could say that my life is kind of boring or typical in the fact that I have one older brother who is in his second year of Dental School here at OSU, and I have a mom and dad, both of whom work as business professionals. As you can read, I am a third-year junior majoring in Business Finance and minoring in Economics, but knowing the current economic state, it doesn't really matter the major as long as you can find a job. Growing up, I mostly played tennis and softball but beginning high school sports become more year-round so I stuck with softball and became captain by my senior year. Because I played for 12 years, you can guess I miss it whenever spring rolls around. I love doing anything outdoors which was instilled in me from an early age as I learned to ski at 4, began to camp at 6 with Indian Princesses and just for family fun, and trips to the beach were regular. I am very much a home-body, which is a big reason why I didn't venture too far away from my house. While on campus my friends are my driving force and the goofier the better as I love to laugh and have a great time.
I am in Delta Delta Delta Sorority and absolutley love every minute of it. My brother was greek and from hearing all his experiences I knew i wanted to be greek at well which is why I went through recruitment in the winter of my freshman year. I fell in love with TriDelta because at one of the rounds I had an obscure conversation about aliens and thought "well if I'm having this talk now with someone I just met, just imagine when I'm best friends with her/the rest of the women". However cliche and tacky it sounds, I really have found my home away from home and my best friends and experiences through going greek.
After reading Tyler's blog, I was shocked to see how little time it actually took me to read it beacause the conversational voice made it seem like I was just sitting there listening to him speak. I hope that through this blogging process (which I am COMPLETELY new to..aka first blog ever) that I can use my own voice more so that it is more engaging and entertaining since he will be the one to read and grade it haha.
I guess this concludes the first assignment! Please stay posted for more exciting entries are on their way!

Hey Jackie! So I am basically blogstalking all of PHA Exec! I really think it is fun to learn about everybody and see where they are from! I am so a homebody too and love to go home when I get a chance! I love Ohio State, but nothing is better than home! Skiing at 4 that was me too, but I always cried b/c I was so scared to fall. Not a dare devil!!
