Sisters by chance, Big-Little by choice.

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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
