An Open Letter To My Big

Dear Big,

When I first joined the sorority, I had no idea who my Big was going to be and I was scared that no one would want me. I knew who you were, but didn't truly know you yet. But that changed quickly.

From the moment I met you, I knew you were going to be my Big. And I thank God that you are. The moment I found out that you were my Big, I was filled with an endless amount of joy. I knew from that day forward I was going to have a forever friend. And with that being said...

Thank you for being there for me from day one. You have been there for me through everything that freshman year of college had to throw at me. Even if it was trying to figure out what to eat for lunch that day, you helped me. Or if it was stressing over a test, you were there for me. No matter how big or how small the problem, you were there to talk me through it. You gave me the best advice anyone could ever give. You truly knew the right things to say at the right time. You never ceased to remind me that things could be a lot worse, and you never let me forget how truly blessed my life is.

Thank you for constantly encouraging me. When I doubt myself and think that there is no way I could do something, you are there to tell me that I am capable off anything that I put my mind to.You push me to not only do well in school, but to be a better person. You make me want to be a better person and you help me be that better person.

Thank you for being the best friend that I never knew I needed. Going into college, I thought I had all the friends that I needed, but I was very wrong. There was something missing. I just didn't know it until I met you. You filled a void that I never knew was there. You became someone that I truly need in my life.

Lastly, thank you for loving me. You didn't have to choose me to be your Little but I am honored that you did. I don't know what I would do without you in my life. I don't know how I have lived these past 19 years of my life without you, but I am beyond thankful that I have you now. So here is to a lifetime of friendship.

Love you long time.

Love,

Your Little

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
