Big/Little Week is one of the craziest, most exciting weeks I have ever experienced. All that craziness and excitement is amplified a hundred times over when you're the Big yourself. This is Big/Little Week, with all its ups and downs, as told by GIFS from "Friends."


Finding out who your little is.

Opening your envelope to find out who your little is is insanely nerve-wracking and exciting. It's basically up there with how you felt getting your bid on Bid Day.

Realizing immediately afterwards that it's crunch time.

Somehow this week creeped up on you faster than you thought it would. You have to craft, shop, bake, while also writing essays and studying for tests. It'll all be worth it in the end though.

Starting your shopping and going a bit overboard.

You find yourself saying "My little needs this." a lot. Before you know it, you're absolutely broke. But hey, no regrets here!

Trying your hand at crafting and realizing you're no Picasso.


You scroll through Pinterest looking at all the insanely beautiful canvases and crafts and tell yourself: "Yeah I can do that!" But when you attempt it, it ends up absolutely atrocious. Let's hope your little knows it's the thought that counts.

When you're pretty sure your little already know it's you.

You're just really bad at keeping secrets.

Sneaking some of the candy you bought your little.


"I'm sure she won't miss this one Hershey's kiss" you tell yourself. Besides, after this week, you deserve some chocolate too.

When someone asks you how your week is going.

You've barely slept in 5 days, but yeah, you're fine...

When your friends ask if you wanna hang out this week.

You're just so tired. Any time not spent on showering your little in gifts will be spent on sleep.

Reveal day.

Today's the day. Everything has lead to this. The pressure starts getting to you. What if your little is disappointed? What if you fall out of your box? What if you don't get there on time? Overall though, you're just flippin' excited!

Waiting in the box.

How long have you been in this box? You can't even remember. Was there life before sweating your butt off in an awkward squat position in this cardboard prison? You just want to jump out of this box and hug your little already!

The reveal.

This is it. The moment you've been anxiously anticipating for months. You pop out of the box as your little tackles you in a giant bear hug. You did it! You survived Big/Little week! Now take some cute fam pics with your new little!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
