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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
