The category which I have chosen to compare my pledge brothers to is desserts. First, the dessert that I chose to represent myself is mud pie. I may be biased, as mud pie is my favorite dessert, but I also think it is a good analogy for myself. Firstly, mud pie is mainly coffee ice cream, and on any given day I have consumed more coffee than water. Additionally, mud pie has harder layers to reveal a softer exterior. Although I do not consider myself to be intimidating, I have been told that I am. I would like to think that once people get to know me, they realize that I am far less daunting than I seem. I would compare Faith to a chocolate chip cookie. This is because she is reliable, like a cookie. She is always there for each brother, and continues to show support for our entire pledge class. I would compare Cya to s’mores. She is energetic and unique, which makes me think of s’mores. Daniel is like chocolate covered pretzels. He gets very excited when he speaks of pretzels, which is likely why I relate the two in my head. Jack is like a chocolate mousse. He is very relaxed and will go with the flow, and his calm nature reminds me of the consistency of a mouse. Colton reminds me of moose tracks ice cream. He is a strong leader, but there is more to him than meets the eye. Ice cream is the notorious dessert option, but moose tracks add a twist to this dessert staple, which is why I relate it to Colton. Vedant reminds me of a snickerdoodle. His jokes and funny nature make me think of the name “snickerdoodle,” but his unpredictable statements also remind me of the cinnamon twist that snickerdoodle cookies have. Julianna reminds me of chocolate covered strawberries. Her sweet and easygoing nature underneath an even sweeter exterior reminds me of this dessert. Leslie would be bananas foster. She is super unique and fun, and there is nothing quite like bananas foster. Olivia reminds me of a creme brulee. She is always put together and ready on time, which reminds me of the pristine presentation and classic taste of the creme brulee. Korra reminds me of pudding. She is truly sweet, but also very easy going. This once again reminds me of the taste and consistency of pudding. Jonalyn is like a tiramisu. Every day I spend with her, I uncover a new layer to her personality, each one totally unique and sweet (just like a tiramisu). Aliza reminds me of a chocolate chip muffin. She is bubbly and fun, but just like the cookie example, she is reliable and will always be there for you. Abby reminds me of a chocolate covered orange. Just like the chocolate covered strawberries, she both seems sweet and truly is, but she also has a unique sense of humor once you truly get to know her. This made me think of the way that chocolate covered oranges have a unique sweet and sour flavor. Finally, Kash reminds me of a cinnamon roll. She will always take care of you, but will also brighten your day with a laugh and unique story. Just like a cinnamon roll, she is sweet and has more to her than meets the eye.

The category which I have chosen to compare my pledge brothers to is animals. First, the animal that I have chosen to represent myself is a dog, more specifically a puppy. This is because when I am confined to a singular space, I go stir-crazy as a puppy would, and I also feel extremely left out when people do things without me (similarly to how a dog feels when its owners leave him at home). I would compare Raina to a bird, as both she and birds have an endearing chatter to them. Aliza reminds me of a cuddly little chimp, as monkeys are some of the only animals that are proven to be empathetic and to me, empathy is one of Aliza's strongest qualities. Further, Daniel reminds me of a dolphin, as they both are kindhearted and always eager to do something fun. Further, once you get them talking, they will talk about anything and everything with you. Korra reminds me of a polar bear, as she looks very cute but can be deadly (especially when confronted). This was seen in our brotherhood bonding activity during retreat.I would compare Jack to a sloth, as he is always very laid back and goes with the flow. His relaxed state of mind always calms everyone else down. Colton reminds me of a peacock, as he can be very flamboyant in certain situations. Jonalyn reminds me of a squirrel because she is very tiny but can wreak a lot of havoc (as seen during the karaoke at the pledge social). Additionally, Cya is similar to a leopard in the fact that she is very confident and sometimes sneaky in her demeanor. She can also think very fast and come up with something good to do on the spot, similar to what a leopard would do when it is hunting an animal of its choice. Leslie is like a rooster because her loudness energizes everyone around her, especially early in the morning. Abby is like a turtle, as she does a very good job at defending herself and persevering through any obstacle. She is also caring for those that need her (like turtles are to their young). Kash is like a duck in the fact that she is loyal to those around her and will put her all into something that her loved ones might want. Juliana reminds me of an owl in the fact that she is a wise observer who takes everything in and uses it to her own advantage. Vedant is like a kangaroo because he always has something up his sleeve. He is crafty and strategic in his actions. Faith reminds me of a dragon, as she will confront (or breath fire upon) any person who gets in her way. She is also able to spread her wings and easily move on from her problems (like a dragon would fly away). Although we can all be represented by very different animals, the variation in our personalities is what I think makes us such a strong group.

I decided to categorize my pledge brother as different Summer Walker songs.
Juliana would definitely be “Settling”. The song gives a calming vibe but at the same time is very real and authentic - much like her personality. The first song I thought of when thinking of Leslie is “Something Real” featuring Chris Brown. The song is fun and upbeat - which is a lot like Leslie’s personality. However, while it is a bit more upbeat, it is still a song one can chill and vibe too which I think explains her really well. Vedant would definitely be “Riot”. He is very headstrong, which I think is also a common theme in the song, and I believe he would do a lot for the people he cares about. Colton would be Cardi B’s monologue in Summer Walker’s song “Bitter”. I think Colton is a great leader because, like Cardi in the song, he is great at taking initiative while also caring about the opinions and criticism of others. Jonalyn reminds me of “Girls Need Love” but specifically the Drake remix. This is genuinely a popular song of hers that only gets better the more you listen to it. From the start, I could tell that Jonalyn is genuinely a good person and that we were going to click, but the more I get to know her, I find more things we have in common and more things I genuinely like and appreciate in a friend (like her humor). Korra would be the song “Throw It Away”. Do not let the title mislead you, I do not think she should be thrown away. The song is overall a chill vibe but gets straight to the point with her words - this reminds me a lot of Korra. Aliza would be “Session 32”. I have always loved this song since it came out and reminds me of how I have clicked with Aliza from the very start. Additionally, the song is acoustic, meaning it is as true and authentic as it can be - which reminds me a lot of her personality. Cya would be “Come Thru” featuring Usher. The overall song has a vibe just like she is. Although Summer sampled this song, she was able to make it unique and her own, which are two things she is good at. Kash would be “Eleven” featuring Khalid. This song is chill and speaks of the observations the artists have and Kash seems like a very observant yet chill individual. Jack would be “Reciprocate” The whole song is very calm and collected, much like his personality. Additionally, the more you listen to the song, the more you understand Summer, just like how I feel like I have seen more of his personality the more I have gotten to know him. Daniel reminds me of the song “Closure”. The whole song is very uppity which is a lot like his personality. Abby reminds me of the song “Playing Games”. I always have this song on repeat and was definitely my go to song when it first came out. Abby seems very caring and I know would be there for people if needed. Olivia reminds me of “Off Of You” because it is a calm song that also gets straight to the point - like Olivia. Raina reminds me of the song “No Love” because both artists take initiative and get straight to the point, which is a lot like her as a person. Lastly, I would say I remind myself of the song “4th Baby Mama”. Summer uses this song to rant about her anxieties of her life. I relate because I also feel like I have a lot of stressors in my life that contribute to my anxieties.

I decided to sort my fellow pledge brothers into yassification words. For those that may not know, yassification is the act of making something more girlbossy. I would like to first categorize myself as ‘yired’. This is a title that I can’t see describing any other pledge to, therefore I have given it to myself to humble me. Next, I decided to categorize Colton as ‘boof’. Colton has his ‘slay’ moments, however, I chose this as his yassification word because he managed to get half of the pledge class sick over retreat last weekend. Following this, I gave the title of ‘girlboss’ to Raina. Throughout the pledging process Raina has seemed to be an incredibly responsible and diligent pledge that I think a lot of our PC relies on. Similarly, I gave ‘queen’ to Kash. Kash seems to be a very strong person and it is something I admire about her. I gave ‘yas’ to Korra. Though she can appear to be quiet, I’ve noticed that when Korra speaks everyone stops and listens to her. I then gave Cya ‘Rupaul’ because both of them have big, and charismatic personalities. I then gave Aliza ‘yuh’ (like Ariana Grande). I picture Aliza to be very soft and sweet like Miss Ariana Grande, therefore it seemed fitting. ‘Crazy lit movie’ is undeniably Jonalyn. She is one of the most interesting people I have met and I love learning more about her as time goes on. I gave Abigail ‘werk’. From what I’ve observed from Abby, she seems to be really hard working and I admire how she has preserved despite any adversaries she may have faced. I gave Faith ‘pur’. Faith is iconic because of how devoted she is to her work and how she always seems to be looking out for others. Daniel is ‘silly’. The best thing about Daniel is how positive he is. I don’t think I have seen him be anything but happy which makes him ‘silly’. Further, I gave Leslie ‘gurl’. Leslie also has a big personality that is hard not to love and I think she gives off the vibe of ‘gurl’. Additionally, I gave Olivia ‘Charli XCX’. This is based on her energy. Olivia seems to be a very cute person, yet she is timeless and slays like Charli XCX does. I gave ‘skinny legend’ to Jack. Apart from the fact that he is tall and skinny, I think Jack is kinda iconic. I think Jack has surprised many of us in the best way and always manages to do an amazing job at pledging. Lastly, I gave Vedant ‘slay’ for a similar reason to Jack. Vedant is now slaydant because he is my twin and has supported/helped me throughout the whole pledge process. That concludes my classification as my pledge class as yassification words, I hope everyone found it very yas slay. Collectively, I think the Alpha Pi pledge class is an extremely yassified group and I am thankful for all of them.

The category in which I would choose to rank my brothers would be different types of coffee drinks. I personally love coffee and cannot go a day without it. So I think it is fitting for me to rank my brothers in terms of my favorite drink. To start off I would consider myself an iced cold brew with vanilla cold foam. This is my favorite coffee drink, and I do think it describes my personality perfectly. Someone who is comforting and reliable, and you will know they will get the job done, just like a nice cup of cold brew. But I also feel like the vanilla cold foam is vital, as it adds more sweetness and exoticness to the drink, and just makes it much more fun and enjoyable all around. I feel like this exhibits my personality as well, as I am oftentimes more than what meets the eye. I would say that my brother Juliana gives me iced caramel macchiato vibes. Someone who is very sweet, but also has a kick to it and is a solid, dependable person who you know will always be the comfort you need. Vedant reminds me of an iced vanilla oat milk shaken espresso. This is one of my favorite drinks because it is one that, when you initially think of it, sounds a bit like one that would not go with my taste palette. But once you try it, it is so good that you want five of the drinks. This is how I feel about Vedant. Once we spend time together or have a conversation, it is always so entertaining and fulfilling that I never want it to end. Cya reminds me of a vanilla lavender latte. Someone who is a gentle soul, like lavender, and provides me a lot of comfort and peace knowing her presence is there. I think Leslie is an iced caffe americano: someone who is high in caffeine and energy and you know will always lift your spirits no matter what mood you are in. I think Colton is a shot of expresso. Someone quick and efficient who does not beat around the bush and lays it flat. You can depend on the expresso to feel its benefits right away without any distractions. I think Jack is a cappuccino. Someone who is a bit exotic, adds a little bit of cream and flavour, and reminds you of someone from the 90s. I think Jonalyn is a nitro brew. Super fun with a kick, and someone you can be sure is always going to be full of energy. I think Korra is a strawberry acai refresher. Someone who is always a fresh soul to be around and provides you with energy, but in a different way than the normal coffee caffeine. She is so refreshing and simply wonderful. I think Faith is a pink drink. Someone like Korra, who is also so refreshing, and like how the pink drink provides a new outlook on ways to consume energy, faith provides such a new aspect on different topics and viewpoints. I think Daniel reminds me of a chocolate chip frappucino. Someone who reminds me of being young and full of energy, and like every sip you take of the chocolate chip frappucino, every time you talk to Daniel, you just get happier and happier. Aliza reminds me of the Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte. Someone who is so sweet and full of happiness, and someone who inspires me to look at the world in a more kinder and positive way. Olivia reminds me of a Pistachio Latte. Pistachio lattes are one of my favorite drinks because at whatever point you are drinking the latte (beginning, middle, or end), it still tastes so good. That is the same with conversations with Olivia. No matter what we talk about. It is so much fun and interesting, whether it be about sorority life, classes, shopping, or anything in between. Abby reminds me of a London Fog Tea Latte. The first time I had a London Latte, I felt so mature and just like a citizen of the coffee world. Abby reminds me of London, as she is someone who is very nuanced and knows so much about the world and is always teaching me new things that I never knew, and now I am so glad I do! Lastly, Raina reminds me of a matcha latte. Someone who also provides energy, in a different way, but is the type that you get addicted to because it is so good for you. Talking to Raina is like that. She provides me with so much joy and comfort, and like Macha, I know that whenever I indulge in a conversation with her, I will feel very at peace.

The theme that I want to compare all my pledge brothers to is candy. I love candy just like I love all my pledge brothers, so I thought that would be a fun comparison. To begin with I think that Cya would be airheads, a very sweet candy that everyone likes, I think that Cya fits this candy because she is always so energetic and happy and positive. Jack would be a gobstopper, these candies take a long time to eat and require a lot of patience to get through the layers. Jack is very laid back, calm, and patient, always full of reassuring support for his brothers, he would have the patience and good vibes needed to get through a gobstopper. Jonalyn would be sour patch kids, I thought Jonalyn was really cool when I first met her, as I have gotten to know her better I have gotten to see the high amounts of energy and fun-loving vibes that Jonalyn gives off. Abby reminds me of a dark chocolate, she sticks up for herself and has a strong personality, she is determined to reach her goals, but kind and attentive of her other pledge brothers. I think Colton is a Reeses peanut butter cup, he is generally very likable and reliable, but has a fun and quirky side to him too which you can see once you get to know him better. I think that Aliza is starburst. She is super sweet, kind, and always there to support you and be there for you, she's always a very reliable candy choice. I think that Leslie would be a butterfinger candy. Leslie is really unique and super nice, she has a strong fun-loving element to her and matches the sweet vibes of a butterfinger. I think Juliana would be Haribo gummi bears, she is quiet sometimes but when she speaks she always has something good to say, and provides a much needed element to any conversation. I think Faith would be a Snickers bar. She is a very reliable person that can stand up for herself and make a positive difference and always stays true to herself. Faith is a classic that everyone can rely on. I think that Vedant would be nerds, at first he seems like a very easy going chill person, but as you get to know him his personality begins to shine through and you get to see his unique sense of humor. Vedant truly is more that meets the eye. I think that Korra would be m&ms, although she is small and can be quiet at first, everything that she does say has great meaning to it and carries weight within our pledge class, she is very wise and always brings something good to the table. Olivia would be a jolly rancher, she is very fun, kind, and has lots of energy. She always brings good vibes to the group. I think that Kash would be a MilkyWay bar, she has a bunch of aspects about her personality that you dont know until you become closer with her, but once you do get to know her better she is incredibly caring and supportive. Raina would be a crunch bar, a very respectable candy choice that always has a sense of leadership and responsability for the group. I respect Raina a lot for this ability. Finally, I think that I would be a twix bar, Im slightly biased with the fact that twix is my favorite, but I think I match the energy, because just like a twix I am very fun-loving and try to remain positive as much as I can!

I chose to categorize my pledge class as water brands because I personally think most brands have a distinct taste and that we each have very distinct personalities. I will start off with Kirkland water from Costco because it is one of my favorite brands. I think this would be Olivia because Kirkland water always tastes good and it is a reliable brand of water, just like Olivia is a capable person (as evidenced by the social she and Vedant planned). Raina would be Smartwater because she is very intelligent. I feel both the Smartwater and Raina are smarter than me. Kash would be Bai water because Bai water exudes an aura of sophistication and classiness that I believe Kash shares. Aliza would be Evian because I’ve never had a bad experience with Evian water, just like I’ve never thought ill of Aliza because she is such a sweet person. Faith would be Ethos water because she seems to be very put-together and I would want to be like her. Fiji water would be Julianna because she is always put together and “that girl,” which reminds me of Fiji water as it is delicious but too expensive for me to regularly drink. Cya resembles Essentia water because I think both the names Cya and Essentia give off the same cool, yet somehow friendly feeling. pH water would be Abby because before I moved to LA, I’d never seen this brand of water just like I’d never met someone similar to Abby before I became a pledge. This is well-meant because I think pH water tastes good and it is advertised as a healthy brand of water. I think Abby is a great friend in the same way pH water is an overall good brand of water. Leslie would be Hint water because there are so many flavors, similar to Leslie’s unpredictable way of speech. The variety of flavors surprises me similar to how Leslie’s words and stories surprise me. Vedant would be Voss water because of the alliteration and because when I originally saw the packaging for Voss water, I thought it would be cool. After drinking it, I realized that it was just normal water, similar to how I eventually realized Vedant is just a normal, mildly awkward person underneath the distant first impression. Jack would be Aquafina water because it honestly is a simple, decent brand of water that I can tolerate. Daniel would be Nestle Pure Life water because similar to the brand, Daniel is a simple person who I can easily converse and get along with. Jonalyn would be Dasani water because although she gives off the same mildly sketchy vibe. Arrowhead, my current least favorite brand, would be an accurate representation of Colton. I do not despise the water, but it objectively does not taste good similar to how it is objectively not great that Colton was coughing all of the retreat and that he said so many out-of-pocket things at our first mock trial meeting (and honestly just on a day to day basis). Lastly, I would categorize myself as Smartwater, the squirt bottle version. This is very different from the capped version of Smartwater, not because of a discrepancy in taste, but because this version is much more chaotic and simply not as classy.
Finally, I would like to write a disclaimer that this list was not meant to insult anybody because water is a necessity of life. No matter what brand of water you were assigned, people still need water to survive and you are still a great person in your own right so please do not take this personally if you are a water fiend.

I am going to categorize my pledge brothers into Kanye West songs. I believe that his wide variety of musical styles and genres can encompass each and every one of my pledge brothers. To start off I am going to categorize Aliza as “Stronger”. She refuses to let failure get to her and isn’t looking to prove herself to anyone but herself. I would categorize Jonalyn as “On Sight” because if you are in her crosshairs you are not going to live to see another day, and she will destroy you “On Sight”. I would categorize Cya as “Lost in the World” because she sometimes is soft spoken and doesn’t know her strength in a given circumstance, but she could easily become the main character in the room. I would say that Jack is most like “The Good Life” because he is very laid back and always seems to be having a good time. I think that Faith is “Diamonds from Sierra Leone” because she is incredibly socially aware and seeks to educate others on inequalities in the nation and world. Raina reminds me most of “Run this Town” because she is from a large city area and because she is the reason our entire pledge class stays on top of our things, and is extremely organized. I would say that Abby is “FourFiveSeconds” because she is honest but also seems to be going through the most and says it in the most nonchalant way. Vedant is most similar to “Runaway” not only because he is a member of a social frat, but because he is always ready for a party and going out. Leslie is without a doubt the Nicki Minaj verse in “Monster” because she takes the center stage and disowns any men in the room and automatically puts them in their place. Juliana would be “Devil in a New Dress” not because she is a devil, but because she is quiet and mysterious but also has a fiery personality. She also called me boof so I’d say this is a fair assessment. Daniel is “Real Friends” because he is such an honest and truthful person and is never hiding an ulterior motive. He is very clearly a “Real Friend” to anyone who has the pleasure of crossing his path. “Wolves” is the song that best represents Olivia because she never wants to let anyone down, and I worry that if she tries to take on too much she may be “flying too high.” Kash is “Flashing Lights” because she is the best of us and because her name exudes luxury. “Gold Digger” is the song that Korra reminds me of, because she is very kind and quiet on first encounter, but is capable of packing a punch if you decide to get in her way. She is not a gold digger in the traditional sense, but if anyone was hiding ulterior motives it would be Korra. Lastly, I would say that the song that best encapsulates me is “I Love Kanye” because I have a very big ego, and I hate being told that I am wrong. I think that I have done an honest job of relating Kanye West songs to my Alpha Pi pledge brothers despite the fact that most of the songs are about materialistic things.

If I were to categorize my pledge brothers and compare each, the most suited would be the theme of cereal brands. Starting off with Leslie, she most definitely would be froot loops. Due to her outgoing and flavorful personality, her as froot loops would make the most sense. For Juliana, she would be honey nut cheerios. I say this because her personality resembles such sweet and genuine characteristics which is parallel to the thought of honey nut cheerios. Vedant would be apple jacks cereal. His personality resembles that of apple jacks cereal because of his weird and vibrant self. Colton would be raisin bran. Just like the cereal, he has many different sides to himself, like how the cereal has many textures. For Korra, she would be Reese's puffs. Like the cereal, she initially comes off as timid. But once you get to know her, she has a very bright and powerful personality just like the strong yummy flavors the cereal gives.Cya would be lucky charms cereal, due to her fun and extroverted self. Like the leprechaun on the box, she gives off main character energy. Aliza would be cap’n crunch due to her admirable self like the captain on the cereal box. Like the cereal, Aliza may look shy on the outside but has a powerful extroverted personality that resembles cap’n crunch. Kash would be special K with berries due to her reliable and healthy lifestyle she gives off. Daniel would be cookie crisp because of his likability. Like the wolf on the box, Daniel is very silly as well. For Jack, he closely resembles the cereal of rice krispies due to his chill vibe. With the thought of the cereal, the three little elfs seem cool to be around just like Jack. Olivia would be frosted flakes, due to her hard working personality like the tiger on the box. Abigail would be corn pops as her personality resembles sweet tones and maturity just like the cereal does. For Faith, she would be fruity pebbles because of her playful and outgoing self. Like the cereal, there are many pieces to her personality which collectively work together to be amazing. For my last pledge brother Raina, she would be chocolate krave cereal. Like krave, she carries herself with much maturity but on the inside is packed with so much fun. For myself, I would say I mostly resemble the cereal of oreo o’s. Due to my strong and energetic personality, I would be this cereal because it is one that is packed with sugar. Overall my pledge brothers and I have our unique quirks and traits that make us unique. And having the opportunity to get to know each and everyone of them has honestly been one of the best experiences I have ever had. As I continue my pledging process, some of these cereal categorizations might change due to our constant growth as a pledge class and individually. Ultimately these cereals do not completely reflect all the great traits each person has to the fullest extent.

I’ve chosen to categorize my pledge brothers as different Disney characters. I personally love Disney movies (my inner child speaking now lmao) so here goes. First I wanna start off with Korra, she would definitely be Elsa from Frozen because Elsa as a character is very quiet and reserved but she comes out of her shell when her sister shows her that she is loved unconditionally and I think that describes Korra really well. Because equally like Elsa she was very shy and reserved at first but as she gets more comfortable with us she’s starting to come out of her shell more. Jack would for sure be Shrek (I know, I know, not a Disney character but it's my favorite movie so I wanna include it). Anyways, Jack would be Shrek because he's very ant-social and equally reserved, he likes to keep to himself, but just like Elsa, when you make him feel comfortable he’s actually a really cool and funny guy. Olivia would for sure be Tinker Bell (and not just because she has the costume haha) but because from the very beginning Tinker Bell is very giving and kind to everyone around her and that’s most definitely Olivia. Raina would be Jasmine from Aladdin because she very much has that “I won’t stand down and let your social standards guide me” personality, and that is for sure seen in Raina’s outgoing and strong personality. Daniel would for sure be Olaf, just because he's the sweetest guy every and just like Olaf can’t pick up on deep social cues so he often lost but in the most adorable way ever. Vadant would be Stitch, because he is wild and very much nonchalant about everything, it seems like nothing phases him and he’s solely here for the fun, which is definitely what Stitch's character is like. Juliana would be the Sleeping Beauty because while she is so quiet and reserved, when someone gets on her bad side and she realizes she won’t let herself be timid and stand down, while she is very quiet, she is very very fierce. Faith would for sure be princess Tiana because be is a baddie from the start, a hustler, who doesn't let anyone or anything tell her how to live her life or stop her from chasing her dreams and that is so Faith. Cya would be Ariel from The Little Mermaid, because all she wants to do is explore and see the world, she’s oblivious to dangers and I think that represents Cya’s fun-spirited energy, who simply just wants to enjoy life and is always cracking jokes. Abigail would be Rapunzel from Tangled because while she is told to keep quiet and reserved all her life, when she realizes her potential she is the brightest star, and I most definitely think that’s Abigail, reaching her fullest potential. Jonalyn would for sure be Baymax from Big Hero Six because he is very very caring, but also very carefree at the same time and that fully encompasses Jonalyn because she cares so much about the people around her but is so carefree about life itself which is so funny. Colton would no doubt be Woody from Toy Story because just like Woody, he’s always falling apart but making it seem like he's so put together, but at the same time a very natural born leader and he cares about his people. Kash would be Mirabel from Encanto because just like Mirabel she’s always on top of everything, she's the perfect daughter, and never wants to mess up, but soon she realizes the beauty in not having it all figured out, and I can definitely see that in Kash. Lastly, Aliza would be Winnie the Pooh, because she’s the sweetest most caring person on the planet, and it always stressing out about the people she loves, and just like Winnie the Pooh, they both don’t always realize that sometimes failure is okay, but it’s okay because they both got people to support them through everything. Overall my pbros are all really sweet, nonchalant, caring, giving people.

My pledge brothers are a group of individuals with strong personalities and I have grown to appreciate all of them. I decided to categorize all my pledge brothers as Harry Styles songs. Juliana Abraham reminds me of the song Fine Line because just like the song she is soft but I know she cares for her friends but is reserved upon meeting them and will open up once getting to know them well. Leslie Hernandez is the song Golden because from the moment I met her I knew should be one of my really good friends and is so strong. Vedant Mehra is Sign of the Times because throughout the retreat he kept telling us to stay strong and not to cry and the line“it will be alright, they told me the end is near” is how he motivated us to keep going. Colton Harrison is Two Ghost because he gives me the vibe that he changed as a person, that is caring but oftentimes he can forget that and reverts to his old ways. Jonalyn Gaspar is the life of the party! It was only fitting to give her Kiwi because that song is chaotic in the best way possible. Korra Le is quiet but is so fun, she reminds me of good friends that you hang out with at the beach doing carefree activities. Cya Coleman is Only Angels is the sweetest and most confident person and the song is the perfect song to strunt on the treadmill which she most definitely would do. Kashish Makker is Sunflower because she is so down to earth and ready to do anything. Daniel Judd is Sweet Creature because he is the sweetest person and the song is camp. Jack Carleton is As it was because it was unexpected and Jack is very mysterious but when you talk to him he is cool. Olivia Delapp is Carolina because she literally moved to the west coast and is simply that girl. Abigail Henderson is Treat People with Kindness because she has the biggest heart of all of us that will go out of her way to let us know she cares about us. Faith Ndegwa is Adore You because we just clicked and like I would walk through fire for her she would do the same. She is my go-to person when I want to hang out after a stressful day of pledging. Raina Jain our Queen is Women because she is that girl too. She is so strong through the whole process and is out here paving the way for us. Lastly, I would be She because I just know I am Harry Styles's muse. It was easy for me to place my pledge brothers as Harry styles songs because I know them so well and it was fitting to place them into songs that fit their personalities. My pledge brothers have been the reason that I continue the process. I could not do this without some of them and our bond is close that we even talk outside of the process.

I decided to categorize my pledge brothers as different locations on UCLA campus. To start, Cya would be the Schoenberg Music building. Like the music building, I knew who Cya was, and always admired her from afar. But once I had the chance to get to know them, they quickly became on of my favorite places. When I stepped into it for class the first time, I was taken aback by how cool it was. So much talent and personality in one building, just like Cya. Now that I have gotten to know her I am her biggest fan. The next location and person would be Colton and the geology building. When I first had a class there, I was lowkey terrified. However, once I stepped inside there were pretty rocks and crystals along the walls, as well as a meteorite gallery. A hidden gem. When I first saw Colton he didn’t strike me as someone I would be very close with. However, over time, he has definitely grown on me, and has very cool aspects to his personality that you dont see at first glance. The geology building never called me out for being a foster kid, though. Next would be Raina and the Anderson area. That area is very elegant and well-kept, very put together. Raina is always so cool, calm, and collected. Kash would be Northern Lights Cafe. It is such a cute little cafe hidden from the rest of campus, and the coffee is immaculate. Northern Lights is definitely one of my favorite places on campus. It is a place where you feel comfortable and where you can destress. Kash holds a very similar aura, like you can talk to her about anything. Jonalyn is definitely the Student Activities Center. It is a grand building that holds so many random wonders. I can get lost in there for hours, so many hallways and rooms that lead you down interesting paths. You will never be bored in the SAC. Korra is Janns steps. Whether it be in between classes or a free day, you can always count on the steps. It can be for a picnic or just a quick nap. Korra is so laid back and chill. Always fun to be around, accommodates to any situation. Jack is the botanical gardens. The gardens are very hard to find, but once you come across them, it is so worth it. Jack seemed quiet and reserved at first, but once I started talking to him he revealed his sense of humor and fun personality. Vedant would be Dickson court. Everyone knows it’s there and sees its charm, yet you don’t truly understand it until you sit there and bask in the sun for a while. Vedant immediately came across as cool and unbothered, but over time I have realized his kindness and compassion. He is very multi-faceted, you can talk about just anything. Olivia is the sculpture garden. Her personality is so soft and benevolent. She is intricate, like the sculptures yet efortless in her beauty. Juliana is Powell. Easily recognized, iconic. Juliana, like Powell, is beautiful inside and out. Daniel is Kerckhoff patio. Everyone knows Kerckhoff patio, and everyone loves Kerckhoff patio. There are no bad vibes when you’re sitting at one of the outside tables. Daniel has a very happy personality that rubs off on you, similar to the patio. Aliza is YRL. YRL is reliable, always can find a place to study. You can never get tired of YRL. Faith is Ackerman. She is sucha a well rounded individual. Anything you need can be found with Faith. Leslie would be Bruinwalk. There is always something happening, you can always fid something new. It is never quiet, always energetic and fun. Finally, I would be Lu Valle. I say this because it is my favorite place on campus. Not too popular, just the right amount of people. Quiet at times but energetic at others.

The category I have decided to place my pledge brothers in is fast food restaurants. First, we’re going to start with brother Jonalyn. When I think of Jonaly I think bold, iconic, and entertaining so I think it only makes sense that I make her KFC. Next up we have Olivia, she is super sweet and funny but also someone you could go to with your problems. With that being said I think Carl's Jr. would be a great fit for her. Moving onto Vedant, he’s a really chill guy and the more you get to talk to him the more interesting he gets because of this I think Jack in the box would be suitable for him. Only because when you think about Jack in the box maybe it's not the first fast food chain you want to eat at but then you try it and realize their curly fries are actually amazing. Next we have Jack. When I think of Jack I think he’s funny and simple. That's why I think he would be an In-N-out burger because it's nothing complicated and you know you are going to walk out of there with a solid meal. Raina would definitely be Chick-fil-A. That's the most slay queen restaurant i could think of so that's why it would be Raina. Also i don't know a single person who doesn't like chick-fil-A like they never miss just like miss VP Raina. Next up, we have mr. President Colton. Colton is definitely one of the out-of-pocket people i know but i love that about him because he does not fail to make us laugh even if its not intentional. This is why I would say he is Burger King because who else exudes king energy like mr president colton? Now onto Faith, such a genuinely kind soul who looks out for every and is such a hardworking queen. But , you know who works just as hard as Faith Dominos! They put their heart and soul into every crevice of their pizza that's why faith would have to be dominos. Moving on to Leslie,in three words i would describe leslie as genuine, determined and Beautiful which is why she would be chipotle. I've never had a more beautiful meal that was genuinely determined to fill me up and satisfy me like when I eat at chipotle. Next, we have my second twin Daniel he would most definitely be taco bell. When I'm down and I need a pick me up I know I can trust taco bells, nacho fries or or those frozen drinks that I can't remember the name of but just like taco bell, i can count on Daniel when I need to pick me up. Similarly, Abby is also someone i can talk to when i need a quick pep talk or some cheering up overall shes just someone you can rely on and thats why she would be one of the classics McDonald. Korra would hand down be Wendys not only is wendy's like ton five best fast-food chains but Wendy's twitter is like another level of insane and while I have not yet seen that side of her I know she can bring it if she has to. Kash would be panda express simply because their variety. With Kash you are not stuck with the same boring options she's very open and understating and there are the different elements to her that you could get if you want. Last but not least we have Julian such a kind and unique individual. While she might come off as shy she is packed with so much personality you just have to take the time to see it just like with the subway there is the potential for so many unique options. You just have to take the time to explore those options.

For today’s themed essay, I’m going to be comparing the members of our pledge class to anime characters. As someone who watched a lot of anime as a kid and still watches some now, I’m excited to relate my fellow P-bros to some of my favorite characters. To me, Raina is most like Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan. She’s dependable, charismatic, and is someone we all look to when the going gets tough. Like Mikasa, Raina is a total badass. Continuing with the Attack on Titan theme, Juliana is most like Annie Leonhardt. At first, she comes across as a person who keeps to themselves, but once you get to know her better, as I have, you can see that there’s an infinite number of layers to her personality. Like Annie, she can be very emotional, but she can also flip her switch and not let things from her past affect her. Although she initially comes across as reserved, she can talk for ages once you’re alone with her. In my eyes, Juliana is truly a strong and passionate person. She’s also blonde, which is a nice coincidence. Jack is like Shikamaru from Naruto. Like Shikamaru, Jack is someone who takes life at his own pace, enjoys watching the clouds pass by, and doesn’t let the world around him affect him too much. He also surprises people with his intelligence, as we saw when he was one of the few pledges to score full marks on our first quiz. Colton is like Jean from Attack on Titan. He is extremely headstrong, doesn’t like to lose, and doesn’t compromise on the things he cares about. He’s also a very vocal leader, which as his fellow P-bro, I appreciate greatly. Daniel is like Rock Lee from Naruto. He is truly a kind person at heart, and his constant optimism and wide smile are infectious. Korra is like Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan. She’s mysterious, and doesn’t speak up too often, but when she does, everybody shuts up and listens. She’s witty, and her sense of humor and irony are unique. Aliza is like Sakura Haruno from Naruto. She’s empathetic, caring, and always puts her all into what she does. Kash is like Nico Robin from One Piece. She is extremely intelligent, articulate, and considerate. Like Robin, everybody appreciates her measured perspective and calming presence in difficult situations. Faith is like Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Like Al, she is a very reliable person. She also strikes me as the kind of person who would go to any length to help the people she cares about. Jonalyn is like Inosuke from Demon Slayer. They are both complete menaces. Like Inosuke, Jonalyn is always surprising me in different ways, and is the life of the party (especially when she raps). Cya is like Mino Ashida from My Hero Academia. She’s a bubble of energy that never seems like it’s going to burst. Like Mino, she is dynamic, has a great sense of humor, and is someone you can tell is a ‘center-stage’ type of person. Abigail is like Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. She’s an extremely hard-working person, but beyond that, she never minces her words, and always tells it like she sees it. She is a very honest person, and you’ll definitely have some food for thought after a conversation with her. Olivia is like Ochaco from My Hero Academia. She’s kind, but beyond that, she’s extremely capable. Not gonna lie, she carried the plan behind the Pledge Social and I could see how much its success mattered to her. Underneath her composed exterior, Olivia is nothing short of one of the most determined people in our PC. Lastly, I’d say I’m like Gojou Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen. Like Gojou, I enjoy joking around, and don’t tend to take life too seriously for the most part. However, I’d like to believe that like Gojou, I can stay calm under pressure. Most importantly, we both have very pretty eyes. Ultimately, each of the characters only reflects a part of each of my P-bros, because they’re all very complex and nuanced people, and I’m glad that I’m in the same pledge class as them.

The category I have chosen to represent my pledge brothers is old Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and Disney show cartoons. Firstly, I would compare Jonalyn to Jake from Adventure Time. Jake is a really layed back and chill dude, and is probably the best friend you could ever ask for. He also has kind of a mischievous backstory, similar to Jonalyn as well. I would compare Colton to Robin from Teen Titans Go. They're both leaders who tend to make a few honest mistakes along the way, but the people they lead still really like and respect them because they're earnest and always have the groups best interests at heart. They are also both really hard workers. I would compare Korra to the Ice Bear from We Bare Bears. Korra is pretty silent most of the time, but you know she is a really smart and capable person and can speak her mind when she wants to. I would compare Raina to Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time. She, similarly to Colton, takes on the role of leader for our group a lot. She is really organized and disciplined, and expects the same from all of us as well. But she also has a really fun and carefree side that she lets show sometimes, just like Princess Bubblegum. I would say that Abby is like Eileen from Regular Show. She is a really smart and organized person who makes sure the group is all getting along well. Aliza is like Spongebob because she is always really bubbly, and makes the atmosphere around her brighter. Daniel is like Finn from Adventure Time because he seems like he would really like going on adventures with his friends, and he gives off the same boyish energy and eagerness that Finn encapsulates. Kash is like Katara from Avatar the Last Airbender. She gives off the same calm and confident air that Katara does, and never seems fazed through all ups and downs we endure. Vedant is like Zuko from Avatar because he is a bit more reserved most of the time, but you can tell he is very driven and doesn't like to give up. He also, similarly to me, is categorized as one of the lazier members of our pledge class, so when he steps up and takes charge on occasion, it surprises you, just like how Zuko's choices surprise the audience over the course of his redemption arc. I would compare Juliana to Ferb because she is also fairly quiet, but she has an air of confidence and also doesn't seem to be fazed by much. She is also just pretty iconic like Ferb. I would say Olivia is like Sandy from Spongebob. They're both from Texas first of all, and always seem to be pretty upbeat. Olivia is also a super caring person who is always willing to lend a helping hand. I don't think I would pass my Dinosaur class without her help prepping for the midterm. I would compare Faith to Suki from Avatar because she is a really nice and caring person, who it feels like you can always depend on. I would compare Leslie to Toph from Avatar because she is a pretty stubborn person, but she is also really smart and capable. I am lucky to have her as a co-chair even though our personalities do definitely clash at times, just like how Toph initially clashed with the other members of team Avatar. I would compare Cya to Penny from the Amazing World of Gumball. Cya is a super sweet and caring person, and she is always willing to stick up for her friends. Lastly, I would compare myself to BMO from Adventure Time. I like to skate, and play video games with my friends like BMO, and I don't mind just living life at a slow pace.
