Such a crazy week needs to crazier show to explain it...

For myself and any other pledge to a sorority this semester (or any semester, really), Big Little Week is one of the most exciting times because you get to be spoiled with gifts as well as get an awesome new Big and BFF in your sorority. Today, I'm using one of my all time favorite shows, The Office, to help explain the roller coaster of thoughts and emotions that is Big Little Week, especially from a Little's point-of-view.

1. When you try to start to figure out who your big is but realize you're clueless.

Yeah they might be giving you a few clues along the way, but are they really that helpful? Probably not.

2. Your friends and sisters when you try to get them to spill about who your big is.

You know they're not going to tell you, but it doesn't hurt to try to pry the information out of them over the course of the week.

3. When you realize that you've been blessed with an amazing Big already (and you don't even know who it is!).

All week you've been spoiled with gifts and felt so much love from your Big already, so you know whoever it will be is an amazing, special woman that you're blessed to know!

4. When you're feeling so grateful for the gifts all week you have to try hard to control your emotions.

It's okay to cry (maybe just a little bit).

5. When you look back at the end of the week at all the stuff you got.

Your Big definitely got you the hookup with all the sweet "SWAG" you got all week.

6. When you run into non-sorority friends and want to tell them all about how Big Little Week is going.

You have so much excitement going on you need someone to "vent" to (and by vent, I mean go on and on and on about how freakin' excited you are).

7. When you just can't take the anticipation of finding out who your Big is.

While this is an amazing week, that doesn't mean that it's not killing you inside trying to figure out who your Big is.

8. When you're (still) clueless about your Big's identity and are desperate for answers.

No one seems to want to answer your endless questions (and you secretly, deep down know that it's in your best interest).

9. When you think about all of the fun you and your Big will have together.

Here's to hoping that you'll be inseparable and want to spend every minute together doing fun things.

10. When it's finally Big Little Reveal Day and you're so pumped.

You've literally never been more excited than you are right now.

11. When you're hoping for a certain Big but don't want to jinx it.

Any girl would be great, but we all have a certain one in mind that we'd be extra excited about.

12. When you finally get your Big and it's been the moment you've been waiting all week for.

You're so excited and know that your life in the sorority is about to change forever.

I hope if you're having your Big Little Week (or have experienced yours) you can relate to some of these crazy feelings from the week!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
