7 Promises To My Big
Abby Latta

Since joining a sorority, I have come to find that Big/Little week was my absolute favorite. But not for the reasons you may be thinking. Yes, the week full of gifts was incredible and I cannot wait to shower my future Little with gifts, but my favorite part about Big/Little week was actually finding out who my Big was. Now, and ever since that night, my Big and I have been so close, and we grow closer every day. We have just spent the last summer apart, and I actually hated every second of not being close to her. She has done so much for me, helped me pass math, pick out dresses for Greek events, to helping me decide what to do with problems in my personal life.
I know that when she took me on as her Little she promised to be there for me, to guide me, and much more. So Big, here are my promises to you.

1. I promise to always be there for you.

Big and Little relationships are not something to be messed with, especially when a crazy Little is involved...I'm that crazy Little. <3

3. I promise to always try to help you keep your life together.

Considering the fact that neither one of us can manage to keep things together at all times, this should be interesting, but I swear that I will always try my hardest to help you keep your life in one somewhat solid piece.

4. I promise to always go out with you

Because partying with you is the best kind of partying.

5. I promise to always hate your exes


You will always be my big, and I will always protect you, therefore I will always hate your exes for hurting you.

5. I promise to always try to give you my best advice

I know I don't always know exactly what to say, but I promise to always try my hardest to make you feel better...even if that means making you pizza rolls and ice cream.

6. I promise to always make sure you know how incredible you are

Big, I love you! You are so incredibly important to me and I need you to always know how amazing you are. You are one of the smartest people I have ever met and I cannot even express how much you mean to me, so I promise to always do my best to make sure you know that you're actually the best. ...does that make sense?

7. I promise to always be the best little I can possibly be

You being my Big has been the greatest part of my college days, so I promise to always be the best little I can be. Whether that is keeping you on track at the library or holding your hair back, I will be the best for you!


You are the greatest Big I ever could've asked for and I would never imagine having another person. Thank you for always being my lunch date, my shoulder, and my confidant. I am so lucky that I get to return the favor.

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.
