An Open Letter To My Big

You're the best Big I could ever ask for.

An Open Letter To My Big
Breanna Sahr

Dear Big,

First things first, I want to say thank you. Thank you for answering all my questions during rush week, no matter how crazy they were. Thank you for comforting me when I am having a bad day, for reassuring me and always looking out for me. Thank you for making me laugh through the tears and always letting me know that you are there for me no matter what. Thank you for being you, my hilarious, beautiful, political science nerd of a big who never wants to hear any scary stories but is always down for some ice cream even when it is really cold outside.

The week leading to the Big-Little reveal was probably one of the longest of my entire life. I've never been given so many random gifts before and each day was a new revealing detail that told me absolutely nothing of who you were (or maybe I'm just bad at guessing)! Even though I had no idea that it was you who had given me all the gifts, you came to ask me what I had been given every day as if you had no clue who my Big was. Finally, when you were revealed to be my Big, I had to hold myself back from jumping into your arms because I was so excited and overjoyed that it was you.

Though you haven't been my Big for a long time, and we met each other over a year ago when we were both confused first-year students trying to navigate college, it sure seems like we've been a part of the same family for years. You and I definitely were a one-to-one match and I am so proud to be your Little.

Being in a sorority has helped me grow as a person. You have been with me from the very first day of rush, encouraging me and always lending a listening ear and something funny to say that will make me laugh (it's true, I think you're hilarious!).

So, even though you always manage to make me jump with fright no matter what time of day you knock on my door, you always end up saying exactly the right thing and I wouldn't choose any other Big in the world but you. You're the best Big I could ever ask for.

Thank you for being you.

Love,

Your Little

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.
