Being Songsmistress this past year has been one of my favorite parts of being at Bryn Mawr. I almost love it more than I love the hair under my armpits. There’s nothing better than standing up in front of the crazy beautiful class of 2016 and yelling at people to stop shouting 69. Seriously, though, being Songsmistress for y’all kicks so much ass and I would really really really like to keep on doing it. Whether it’s accidentally hitting someone on the head with a candle while trying to toss them across the crowd or telling people they need to sit down when they get too rowdy, I’m always having a killer time when I’m up Songsmistressing and whatnot. Oh, also, I really love singing super loudly and off-key (by which I mean I am off-key because singing comes to me about as naturally as showering daily). And I really love singing super loudly (and off-key) with all of you. You guys make my job the best job there is and I hope that underneath the excellent wit and humor of this candidate’s statement you are able to see how much and how sincerely I love the class of 2016 and love being Songsmistress and how much I hope continue serving you in this role.

Class of 2016 Songs Mistress
I really want to be songs mistress because it would be a dream come true to lead the Class of 2016 in step sings in the following semesters and help welcome our sister class to Bryn Mawr during lantern night. I love the energy and excitement that comes with this crucial role and I am well suited to bring all those components to lead our class. I have a very loud voice and bouncing personality, so I will make sure you are all having a great time during step sing. My goal is to firstly make sure everyone can hear me and know what page we are on in the song book; and secondly is to get our whole class fired up and screaming on the top of their lungs and to thoroughly enjoy their time, while watching me make a fool of myself. I’m all about inclusiveness, so I would really try and get everyone to have the same experience whether they are sitting in the front or in the back. It’s about type for the Class of 2016 to get hype! I really treasure Bryn Mawr Traditions and allowing me this position is something you won’t ever regret. Let’s get CRAZY, together.
