Sorority Big Little Stress

A big problem for a little sorority memory

Sorority Big Little Stress

Sorority big little reveal: another cut-throat, stressful activity surrounding sorority life. This is mainly stressful for the bigs, since they like to fight over the littles and talk behind each other's backs.

Last year I was a little, and I had no idea what happened behind the scenes. My favorite thing during big little week were all the little anonymous gifts from my big; I felt like she knew me so well, even though I had filled out a questionnaire asking what my favorite candies and room color scheme were.

This year, I had the opportunity to take a little, and let me tell you, the week beforehand was HORRIBLE. Fellow bigs that I considered to be my friends were shadily asking who I wanted as my little, and wanting to know everything about everyone. I have to admit, I was also asking who wanted who as their little, but I didn't want to spread rumors or anything. I had just genuinely wanted to know.

It got so cut-throat in the sorority house that some girls were straight up just being aggressively shady instead of passive-aggressive shady, which was hard to handle. Honestly, it was one of the most drama-filled experiences that I have had.

The day that big little preference sheets were due was the worst. All the bigs and all the littles fill out a sheet asking who they want, and after the sheets were due, everyone was knocking on each other's doors, asking who put which little down as their first choice.

After the pairings were sent out, there was even more drama, since some of the bigs got their last choice in little, and some of them got random littles. One girl even refused to take her little, since she wanted a different girl so badly.

On the bright side, big little week is over, but if there's one piece of advice that I can give: stay out of the big little drama.

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.

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.
