I am just freshly off the high of getting a little, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I met someone who I love as much as I love my big and who is a perfect addition to my already perfect family line. Having no little sisters of my own, I am so excited to show the organization I love so much to someone I love just as much. However, it is the most stressful time of my life thus far. With all the lying, secrets, and baskets, it is an insane time. What better way to describe it than with "Friends?"
1. When you tell your big that there will be a new addition.
Right after you get the news, you call your big to let her know she is a G! As you guys freak out and get so excited, you start to plan all the different Drake lyrics you can use as captions on Instagram for your brand new squad.
2. When you realize you have so much in common.
When you both finish a quote from "Bridesmaids" with striking accuracy. It is a moment to be treasured.
2. When you start the first round of lies.
As soon as they come out of your mouth you feel terrible, but you are already committed. As you say the phrase, "I did not end up taking a little this year," you cry internally.
3. When she doesn't believe the lies and you have to act calm, cool, and collected.
"I promise I am not your big but I know her! She is a (insert major that is not yours) and loves you so much already!" *internally screaming*
4. When a group of your friends try to keep the confusion going by also lying.
Nothing is better than a group lie, especially when everyone jumps on the bandwagon to help make sure that your little will be the most surprised at reveal.
5. When it is half way until reveal and you cannot take it any more.
Every time you pass her at chapter or across campus, you just want to yell out "Little," but you have to restrain yourself; it gets harder and harder everyday.
6. When you trick your friend's little into thinking it is you.
It gets a little confusing and you feel like you are living a double life sometimes, but hey, at least she has no idea who you are!
7. When you realize that you are not as crafty as you are in your head.
You buy all the canvases and sit down with all your paints to realize nothing you will even paint will look like how you planned it.
8. When it is the week of reveal and you are so pumped you cannot stand it.
In five days, 16 hours and 34 seconds you will finally reveal yourself to your little!
9. When she shows you her basket and you have to act like you do not know what is in it.
"Yes, I'll be sure to tell her you love it! No, I have no idea when I will see her next!"
10. When it is the day of reveal and you still have a whole day of classes.
You start counting down the time until reveal through how many notes you have left to take.
11. Finally reveal!
You finally have her turn around and have her realize that it was you all along! You promise to never lie to her again and you keep replaying the video of your reveal for the next three hours.
