An Open Letter to My Little

AHHHHHHHH

Hi Little!

The first time you read this article, you will probably have no idea who I am. I am so incredibly excited to be your big, and I feel so blessed to have you as my little. Before you find out who I am at the end of this week, I wanted to take the time to write this list for you, my ten promises to you as your big.

1. Adventures are a must, and I am excited to enlist you as my future road trip buddy.

2. Whenever you need a break from classes or exams, I will be more than happy to join you on Starbucks runs at all hours of the day.

3. We both share a love for movies and tv shows, so I hope you will join me for many Netflix binge watch sessions.

4. Between your baking skills and my cooking skills, I am convinced we will be capable of making a feast!

5. I cannot wait to come to some of your future extracurricular events! I know that sounds really vague, but if I said exactly what they were, the secret would be revealed! Bottom line, you are very talented at what you do, haha.

6. We all have bad days, but just remember that when you need someone to talk to or a helping hand, I will be there to help. :)

7. I am excited to share with you my love for our chapter, as are the rest of the older members. A sorority is something neither of us thought we would ever join, but here, we have found friends and a sisterhood unlike any other.

8. College can be very stressful, especially when it comes to applications for internships, grad schools, etc. Just know that you are brilliant, and everything happens for a reason. I cannot wait to see you fly. :)

9. We are probably going to have our moments when we don't agree with one another, and that's completely okay. Friendship is about give and take, as well as listening to the other person's side of the story. I don't think a perfect friendship with no bumps is necessarily real, and I do believe that a real friendship is full of beautiful imperfections.

10. Ultimately, just know that I am so excited to have you as my little. You are wonderful, brilliant, genuine, and beautiful, inside and out. I can't wait for Big Little Reveal at the end of the week!

Love,

Your Big

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Panicking and pulling all-nighters will not allow you to get an A.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
