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.

Parks and Recreation excitedly gathered around a laptop at a table in an office setting.

The library. Club lib. The place every college student goes when they want to try and be a productive member of society. Who better to explain your experience than Parks and Rec?

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
