I wish I could give each of you a long hug right now (even if I am really the one that needs the hug). For every reason there is to be upset, there are two more reasons to smile and reminisce on your last three years. This entire situation wouldn’t hurt if you didn’t love Sweet Briar. Think about how you have upheld the Honor Code, studied hard and been a friend to so many. Look down at your left hand and imagine your class ring on your pinky. You can become closer to campus by hearing these stories. We each have a story of why we chose to attend the Pink Bubble. This is the time that, as a group, you all dig deep and love each other. Reach out to a senior you may not know, or your big. Let it remind you why you fell in love with our community. Let this time give you a reason to think about everything Sweet Briar has given you. I believe that pushing through that feeling has led the upperclasswomen to fall more in love with Sweet Briar. I am sure that your upperclasswomen have felt uncertainty many times at Sweet Briar. This is an incredible lesson in gratitude. Take time to learn from their experiences. The Junior Class may be reflective (I was) as they imagine what Junior Banquet could have been like and all the ways they have earned their rings. I know how easy it is to throw your hands up and feel as though “There is nothing I can do.” There is so much to do. This is a situation that is necessary for you to internally process. I hope that each of you have taken time to process how COVID-19 has affected your experience at Sweet Briar.
