Dear Future Little
Madeline Raineri

My lovely little,

Almost a year ago, I would sit in my room on Pinterest and scroll through different Big/Little ideas for when the time came that I could have a little to call my own. I never thought of myself as "sappy" and I never wanted to "try too hard" but let me tell you... I am so excited and SO in love!

I started buying crafts for you as soon as I found out who you were and what you liked (which is coincidentally the same stuff as me), and I have been losing sleep because I was so excited. Instead of sleeping I was dreaming up craft ideas and how I would make my reveal amazing.

I found my mind constantly drifting to you and the clues I would give you to (maybe) help you figure out who I am.

I found myself stressing over the crafts I am giving you to make sure they are ABSOLUTE perfection, just like you.

But enough with the crafts, I cannot wait to be your friend, which is the best part of the Big/Little program. The friend you can call whenever and I will be there just to talk or to laugh uncontrollably.

I want to be the girl who sits in the back of the room with you and cracks jokes while we're supposed to be serious (let's face it, I already am that girl).

Most of all, I want to be someone you can look up to and trust. Real friendship is hard to come by these days, and I am more than willing to step up to the plate and be the friend you need in any situation.

Dear Little,

I cannot wait to be there for you every step of the way. Whether it is through Delta Zeta or everyday life, I am so ready.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
