17 Truths About Big/Little Reveals
Madeline Ulrich

Its about that time of the year when recruitment time settles down, all the chapters welcome in their new members, and big/little reveal is just around the corner.

Last year, I was lucky enough to take my little and I have to say, the entire week up until reveal when I found out she was my little, was probably the most stressful week of my college career. Not only am I mediocre at crafting, I'm a perfectionist that can barely paint, and the least girly person you will ever meet so crafting is the most stressful thing in the world.

To all the future bigs that are crafting for their littles here are some things that you can all relate to:

1. Thinking your crafty trying to do all the Pinterest crafts and then you pick up a paint brush and you realize you have no idea what your doing.

2. Glitter gets EVERYWHERE and it will never leave no matter how many times you clean.

3. Rhinestones become your worst nightmare.

4. Sleep? What's Sleep?

5. Mod Podge is a life saver.

6. There is nothing wrong with tracing.

7. Your think you're a pretty cool person until you have to write your clues and you blank on everything about yourself.

8. At 2 am that canvas looked great... 9 a.m. maybe rethink that thought.

9. Seeing your little on campus and having to refrain from calling her "little."

10. Constant runs to Michael's and Jo-Ann's it's more like your second home.

11. Spending HOURS picking out Big/Little shirts.

12. Sneaking into your little's room to leave the clues thinking you're a ninja but you're actually a bull in a China Shop.

13. Contemplating if you love your little enough to keep crafting.

14. Tie blankets are the enemy.

15. Finally going to reveal and totally surprise your little that you're her big.

16. Seeing the look on her face when she sees you and realizing all of the painful hours of crafting was totally worth it.

17. Knowing that you made the right decision by taking a little and you will love her forever.

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.
