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!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
