Friends Mixer: Ice Cream Social Helps Break the Ice

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Virginia Tech chapter.

The women of Her Campus were invited to join Glo Fleux, Women in Charge and Theta Nu Xi at their Friends Mixer and Ice Cream Social, and it was an amazing night!

    Ice cream is always a good incentive to go out, but the idea of a night specifically for making new friends with a wide range of women from Tech’s community was motivation enough. As we went through the night, we talked about how, in college, it’s important to have a good group of genuine gal pals that you can rely on; and I met many girls that I can say I would not hesitate to strike up a conversation with when I see them on campus, and I’m sure I’ll stay in contact with them as my time here at Tech starts to come to a close.

    

    I’m sure there will be more events like this with these groups and I encourage everyone to go out and meet new people and discuss fun, yet important topics. This night was one I thoroughly enjoyed and the discussions on not only the importance of friendship, but conflicts and resolution techniques, showed how important it is for young women to get together and share their thoughts about issues that we face on a daily basis.

Just a funky lil girl trying to put my thoughts into relatable words!!! I've had the dream of being Anne Hathaway's character in Devil Wears Prada since I was like three. Maybe without being someone's bitch, but you know, everyone has to start somewhere.
