To My Future Little

A letter from your future big.

To My Future Little
Jaime Shaffer

To my future little,

I don't know who you are yet and I won't for a few more months, but when I do I'll know every little thing about you. Favorite color, favorite food, and the list can go one. I am so excited to expand my family line, I've only been waiting over a year to do so. Being a new member of a sorority is the best six to eight weeks of your membership within your organization. One of the best parts is getting your big and becoming a member of a family line. My family line is crazy, but I know you'll fit in perfectly.

Although summer vacation has just started and won't become your big until the fall, I have been crafting and saving small things here and there for a while now. There is a basket full of crafts sitting in my closet waiting to be given out. I have and still will try to perfect each and every craft that I make so it is worthy enough for you to hang on your dorm walls. The amount of letters I have already made to be sewn on shirts for you is countless.

I want you to know that you can come to me whenever you need anything. If your pledge sisters and you are having trouble and need advice, come to me. Need help for an exam? Let's meet in the library for a study session. If you want to cry because of a broken heart, come to me. If you need me to get you at 2 in the morning, call me. My big has done those for me and it's time I do them for someone too. If you want a coffee date to catch up, let me know so we can schedule a time and place. You can count on me for anything.

I hope you love our sorority as much as I do and I hope you love wearing our letters across your chest. I can't wait to see you grow within our organization by becoming a sister, taking on positions, and so on. I cannot wait to call you my sister. Lastly, I cannot wait to meet you the day you get your bid and the day that you become mine.

TLAM,

Your future big.

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.
