An Open Letter To My Big

Not like I don't tell you how much I love you every single day, but a reminder doesn't hurt.

Dear Biggie,

Among all things I have learned in my college experience thus far, I think I can attribute some of the most important lessons to you. It is cliche to say, (and trust me, you are nowhere near cliche) but you have done more for me than most people I have met on this journey, and I am eternally grateful for that.

There aren't many people on this planet that I can sit with for hours in silence, doing nothing but playing on my phone or watching Catfish, and leave thinking, "Wow, I had such a great time with them today." However, surprise, you are one of the few.

The first time I met you I was amazed by how cool you were. I had absolutely no faith that I was even cool enough to be in the same room as you (and my eyebrows were not nearly as fleeked as yours, at the time), yet here we are. And if I'm honest, I've come to learn that we are the perfect pair. If anything, you might be weirder than I am- and that is an accomplishment in itself.

Over the past year, we have spent several nights wasting our brain cells away in Lib West or lounging on your couch at the luxury Savion Castle, and spent even more days laughing at how the Omega symbol looks like an upside down Shrek, stuffing our faces with palmetto cheese dip and wheat thins, making Spongebob references and believing that if we kick up our legs and flail our arms, it can be considered dancing.

All in all, I just wanted to let you know that you push me to be a better person. I have never met someone so passionate about what they want to do with their life and actively working towards that goal each and every day. Your self motivation is so strong that it motivates me to stop being a mess and step up to do the things I should be getting done. Just like you always say, "Lazy a**es don't get into vet school," aka I'm sure they don't get accepted into grad school for social media either.

When they tell you that your big is your mentor, they mean it. I could write a book with all the advice you've given me about being myself, dumb boys, health and life in general. You're much more than a mentor to me though- you're family. And I couldn't be more grateful that we have become as close as we are.

So, people might laugh when I brag about how much I love my big, since its such a stereotypical thing to do, but you're worth every ounce of love.

I love you endlessly,

Your Little

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
