15 Things To Thank Your Big For

Everyone has a best friend. Someone they can tell their deepest darkest secrets too, someone they can be their selves around. But the best friend relationship is nothing compared to the big/little relationship. Your big is like your mom, boyfriend, and best friend all wrapped up into one perfect human. She listens to you rant endlessly for hours and doesn't care - because she's your big. And she's kinda under appreciated, so here are 15 things to thank her for ASAP.

1. Letting you wear her favorite necklace to your social, even though she wanted to wear it.

2. Watching endless episodes of Sex and The City with you, even though it's not really her thing.

3. Being your go-to date to any social function.

Because boys suck and she's a lot cooler.

4. Skipping her classes to go get ice cream with you.

5. Staying up way past her "bed-time" listening to you cry about boys.

and not judging you when you tell her about your crazy boy-escapades.

6. Alllll of the crafts she has made you during your time as big/little.

because crafts cost money, and take time.

7. Always buying your dinner whenever you go out even though she's just as "poor" as you are.

8. Still being your biggest support system, even though she's been graduated from college for a year.

And for still listening to all your complaints about college even though she is in the real world. It really isn't just four years, it's for life.

9. Always having the best advice.

10. Teaching you the importance of your sorority's letters, and what it meant to be a member of your chapter.

TFJ.

11. Inspiring you to work hard and achieve all of my goals.

12. For always being there when things didn't work out your way.

13. Always taking care of you when you are sick, like with the flu, a cold, or from a night of too much fun.

and never EVER judging you.

14. For never forgetting your birthday, big/little anniversary/ or any other important date.

15. For being one of the most important parts of your college career.

Because she made you the person you are today.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
