How Having a Little Changes Everything

Getting a little is a big change. You're no longer the baby of the family. You need time to adjust.

How Having a Little Changes Everything

This is my second year being in a sorority, and I’ve realized that there is nothing like getting a little. As a result, there have been changes in my behavior - just from the realization that I am not the baby in the family anymore.

1. How am I not the bottom of the family stack anymore?

2. I really wish I was taller, because my little does not squat low enough. Come on ladies, feel the burn we all had to do it.

3. OMG I HAVE A LITTLE (constantly being reminded of in my head).

4. The fact that now I am watching all the boys who try to talk to my little, because she obviously cannot protect herself from these preying older boys. Boys, remember the bigs are always watching our babies.

5. Randomly feeling old and the thought of being a grandbig next year brings tears to my eyes. I mean, can’t I just be in college forever (without the school part of course)?

6. Oh the bank account is always fun to look at after getting a little. I mean little, I love you, but you stole all of my money.

7. Going out to a party and yelling “LITTLE” to get her attention ... and literally 8 people think you're talking to them too. Sorry but you don’t have a name anymore. It’s "little" from now on.

8. All of the “big like little” moments are more prevalent, and you don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.

9. Your Instagram being taken over by pictures of you and your little. There’s nothing better than seeing 500 Insta posts of the same pose with a different filter.

10. Coming to the realization that no one will mean the same to you as your little.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
