Dear Big: Thank You For Everything
Ashten Roy

To my wonderful Big,

First things first: I love you. I have no idea where I would be without you. You complete me.

With that out of the way, I wanted to take a few moments to tell you just how much you mean to me. From the moment I met you I knew that I wanted you to be my Big, it seemed like no one deserved that title more than you. Big/little week was one of the most stressful times of my life. I constantly told myself there was no way someone like you would want a little like me. When reveal actually happened, I was so overcome with joy that I cried–a lot. You have buried me in gifts, love, and support. So for always putting me first, I have some thanks I'd like to give.

Thank you for choosing me.

Out of the many girls in my pledge class, it always shocks me that you picked me (and stayed with me). Running to you at reveal was the happiest I have ever been. I constantly replay this moment because it was, well, perfect.

Thank you for listening to me.

Whether it be my constant complaining or general fears about life, you listen to me. You help me through my problems and are a voice of rational when I'm not thinking straight. When I'm doing something stupid, you are always the one to tell me to chill out. Nothing compares to the advice and comfort you give me.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on.

It's no secret that I get upset a lot. Even when I don't show it, you know something is wrong. No matter what the situation, you always choose my side. Knowing that you have my back in some of my darkest moments helps make things brighter.

Thank you for confiding in me.

The fact that you trust me enough with your secrets means the world to me. Not only do you listen to my problems, you let me listen to yours. Sitting down and talking to you is one of my favorite parts of the day.

Thank you for all the adventures.

Whether it be a wild trip to Walmart, making cookies at 12 a.m, or watching Greasetogether, every moment spent with you goes down in history. I'm thankful you like spending as much time with me as I do with you,and that we never tire of each other.

Thank you for encouraging me to open up.

Without you, I would still be a shy little freshman who stayed in her room all the time. You have helped me leave my comfort zone and constantly encourage me to have fun.

Thank you for being you.

You are perfect, inside and out. It has been an honor to see the things you have already accomplished and to know there is so much more you will accomplish in the future. Better yet, that I get to be there with you for it all.

Big, from the first time I talked to you I knew we were meant to be.You are my best friend, shoulder to cry on, role model, and future bridesmaid. I love you with my entire heart. Thank you for loving me with yours!

Love,

Your favorite (and only) Little

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.
