Dear Future Little

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.

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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
