An Open Letter To My Little As She Prepares To Expand The Family
Blog Spot

I was only an active member of Alpha Gam for about three months when I decided to take you as a little. My mom and I talked about how I shouldn't take a little until I had my feet on the ground a little more within the sorority. When I found you during informal recruitment and got to know you through spring sing practices and lunch dates, I knew I had to have you as my little.

We may have completely different majors and different study habits, but there's no one else I would want as my little. I know I can talk to you about anything and everything, and you don't know how much that means to me. I am always here if you need someone to study with, someone to get food with or someone to vent to.

Now you are getting ready to take a little of your own and I am so excited. I am so excited to be a grand big and to help you spoil our new baby. I will help you craft, help you get shirts and help you craft clues that won't give away your identity (even though I accidentally gave away mine).

I can't wait to help you make canvases, letters and other little crafts. I spent the summer pinning photos of craft ideas in case I decided to take another little. Now that I have decided not to take one, I can put all of my energy into helping you get ready.

It's a lot of work to take a little but I honestly think it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life as a sorority woman. I love having someone who I can always go to with anything and I loved spoiling you during big little week last semester.

I had a blast making canvases for you, buying squirrel merchandise and finding creative ways to hint at who I was without outright telling you. I have a million ideas that you could use for your little.

It's my job as your big to help you with whatever you need, so please take advantage! I love crafting and I love you so I am happy to help with whatever you need help with. I have all of my crafting stuff in my dorm so all I need is to be asked to make something.

I loved big little week and I know you will too. There is nothing more exciting than getting your little and I know you will be a great big. I can't wait to welcome my future grand little into the family and to start having family dinners again. I can't wait to have another baby to spoil but you will always be my little and my favorite person.

I can't wait to see how you and your little grow together and how I can help you both in the process.

I love you, Little! I am always here for you, no matter what.

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

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. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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!)
