5 Reasons You Love Your Big
Caitlynn Ledet

When you join a sorority the first question that comes to mind is, "Who is my big?" A "big" is a girl that you can look up to. Choosing your big can be a little stressful. You worry if they love you as much as you love them, or if y'all are the perfect pair , but in the end it always works out for the best!

1. She has spent lots of time and money on you

During Big/Little week she stayed up night after night perfecting crafts and gifts for you. Not only did she spend her time on you but also months and months of saving up for this moment.

2. She is the one person who has your back no matter what

When you feel like the world is against you, you don't have to worry cause your big is there. She will be there when things are perfect and when things are rough.

3. She is the girl to help you keep yourself together.

Regardless if you are stressing or you are a complete mess, your big is there to lend a helping hand. She is the sister that comforts you after failing a test, or the one who calms you down on a Thursday night. She is your mentor.

4. She'll encourage you to do your best. Even when you don't believe in yourself, she does.

When you doubt yourself before a huge exam or when you don't think you're going to get that internship, your big thinks you're going to do amazing. She encourages you to be the best you can be and follow your goals.

5. Y'all are soulmates and will be friends for a lifetime.

No matter where life takes you, your big will stay true to you forever. She's the girl who will be standing by you in the good times and the bad. The one who will be there by your side on your wedding day and the one who won't leave your side when tragedies strike.

She's your role model and is someone special that will always be there for you, no matter what. She is the one person who is both your sister and your mom. Big and little relationships are indescribable. No matter what happens throughout life, your big will always love you. A big sister is the person who's been where you've been and someone you can call when things aren't going right. She is more than family, she is a forever friend!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
