5 Bits Of Advice For My Future Little
College Lifestyles

Dear Future Little,

First off, let me say that I already love you.

Second, I have five things I would like to say to you.

1. I want you to know that I will always be here for you.

Don't think that I'm saying that because I have to or because it's what every Big says to her Little. No, I mean it. I will always be here for you. I don't care if you are just bored and you need someone to talk to, or you have just had your heart broken again and you need someone to cry to. Call me, day or night.

2. I want you to feel like you can talk to me about anything.

I have a weird and open sense of humor, but I have also been through a lot, so I can give some dang good advice. If you come to me and I don't know what to tell you, then I'm going to look towards my Big and see if she can help. That's how this all works. We are a family. Me, your grand Big, great-grand Big, and so on. We are all here, and we all have been through enough at this point to help you through any and every situation you are stuck in.

3. I know it may not seem like it right now, but the world is so much bigger than this little piece of the earth you are surrounded by.

Your problems seem massive and everything seems so overwhelming all the time—I get it—but never forget that things could always be worse. So when you feel like you can't face your problems alone, come to me. We will face them together. Having someone by your side makes all the difference in the world.

4. Love is an amazing thing, but it's not the only thing.

When you tell a boy you love him, you better mean it. Playing with someone's heart is no small matter. That being said, you also need to realize that people don't always mean what they say. He may say that he loves you. He may say that you are the only one. He might be telling the truth, but he also might be lying. You need to be extra picky with who you give your heart to. If you have an off feeling about a guy, you shoot me his name and I will get to snooping. I promise!

Last, but not least.

5. Always be there for your sisters.

They saw something in you that made them love you in the very beginning of your journey with us, and you should never forget that. You need to make sure you are putting in effort with your relationships within the sorority because these ladies will be your sisters forever. It doesn't matter if you have been Alum for 10 years and you live 1,000 miles away, they are still your family. So go on those ice cream dates, have those sleepovers during the week, answer their calls during the random times throughout the day, text them and tell them how much you love them. It all matters and it all makes your time with them as active members so amazing.

Please read these things and always keep them in your heart and mind.

I love you, my future Little. I don't know when I will find you, but when that day comes, it will be the best day of my life.

Love,

Big

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
