18 Signs Your Big Is Actually Your Mom
Kristy Mallee

Sorority girls everywhere know the awesome feeling of finding out who your big/mom is. She's a sister in the house that becomes your mentor, your friend, your sister, and sometimes even your mom but you wouldn't trade for anything. So here are some sure signs your big has become your mother in the house.

1. She demands that you let her know when you get home.

Because she needs to know that you're okay and weren't hit by a crazy drunk driver.

2. She has an opinion about anyone you have any interest in.

3. And she is not afraid to tell everyone.

Including but not limited to nicknames spoken directly to said interest.

4. She could never really judge you.

Even though you are way too into Spaghettios and change your major every five minutes.

5. You could make every mistake possible and even get her a standards trial and she would still love you.

It's called unconditional love. Look it up.

6. She'll take care of you when you're any sort of sick.

Whether it's holding your hair, getting you a sober ride, feeding you Ibuprofen till the worst is over, or taking you to urgent care because she's not actually a medial professional she'll do it. To her you are more than the disgusting mess you might occasionally become.

7. She'll find you a place to sleep whenever you need it.

After all joining a house is also about finding a home away from home even if it's not technically your residence yet, right?

8. Her closet is actually your closet.

9. She will listen to every scrap of drama you want to talk about.

Especially the juicy stuff about the the guy she already gave a nickname to.

10. She is always up for late night lady dates.

Sometimes you just need some girl time without any serious conversation and lots of ice cream and/or cheese.

11. She will hide/keep things in her room for you.

Your roommates have big mouths or kleptomania? No problem, your Big will hold onto your precious goods for you.

12. She knows where stuff is.

I got lost so much when I first joined my house despite how very simple it is. She was always helpful in her own sassy way though.

13. She's into the Dad Bod.

Because I guess dad bods need love too.

14. She knows who to ask or talk to about stuff.

Half the house has a position and somehow she always knows who is what and can tell me who would know what I want to find out.

15. She believes in you.

My big shares all my articles. If that isn't support then I don't know what is.

16. When she adds a little to the fam she asks for you input and support.

Because this girl is going to be your sister and roommate so it totally matters if you love her or just like her.

17. She gets you stuff like a tiara or t-shirts.

This might be just my big and I but I'm willing to bet every pair get each other quirky gifts that are totally cherished between the two and if she hasn't given you at least one t-shirt but probably closer to 20, she's doing it wrong.

18. She is the bigger, wiser, prettier, version of you in all the best ways.

Your big is your best friend in the house. Your big is everything you kind of want to be. If not than she's already the exact same person as you which is pretty awesome. Never the less, having a big that is also like your mom is wonderful. I know that I have someone to count on at all times and that will be there regardless of any obstacles that come our way. Honestly, my big is more than just my best friend, she's my big sister and I wouldn't trade her for anyone in the world!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
