Dear Little...

Open letter to my little sister.

Oh Smalls,

I have no clue how to explain how much I love you in just a short letter. In only a little over a semester, you have become not only one of my best friends, but also one of my biggest role models. I don't know how I made it through 19 years of life before meeting you. So many people on the outside of Greek life see Big/Little relationships as silly or superficial, but I know that getting you as a little changed my life for the better.

If I had to describe you to someone who doesn't know you, I would say that you are the most confident, ambitious, and generous woman that I have ever met. I would say that when you love someone, you love them with your entire heart. I would say that you are gorgeous and could give anyone some killer fashion tips. I would say your sass level can't be beat, and it never fails to make me laugh. But most of all, I would say that you are the perfect definition of a strong sorority woman. To say I am proud of you doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how I feel about all you've accomplished.

In only a short semester, you have become a strong leader in our chapter, touched the hearts of so many of our other sisters, and become a critical role model to so many sisters, including me. You continue to inspire me with your leadership skills and confidence. I brag about you to everyone, and listen proudly as other sisters rave about how great you are. While it's my job as a Big to be your role model, people don't realize that a Little can be a huge role model in your sorority experience. Any guidance I have given you has been minimal, because you are so self-driven.

I love our long talks, our choppy texts, our arguments over who's paying for what, our random nights chilling at your apartment, and our cheesy photo sessions. I love that you hate when I buy you things (but still low key enjoy my gifts). I love that you don't let people compliment you ever. I love that you make fun of me all the time (but love me unconditionally). I love your passion, not only for our sorority, but for everyone and everything in your life. I am so blessed to be able to call you my Little.

You are going to be an amazing Big, and I can't wait to see who my G-Little will be. Thank you, Little of mine, for being the best Little a Big could ask for. Thank you for making my job so easy and so enjoyable. Thank you for making me feel loved. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and for being one of my biggest cheerleaders. You have made such an unforgettable impact on my life. Thank you for being you.

I'm so blessed that fate brought you into my life; I love you beyond words.

Biggie

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.
