A Letter To My Future Little

You're killing me, Smalls.

A Letter To My Future Little
Lauren Margliotti

To my future little,

Words cannot express how excited I am to meet you. Whether it be through freshman orientation, recruitment or some bizarre, unforeseen circumstance, I promise that we will know when it clicks.

I want to welcome you into our family with open, loving arms as you adapt to this new transition in your life. Chances are, you're still getting used to college life, and pledging is an exhausting and time-consuming endeavor itself. Sometimes, the process can be overwhelming, and I vow to be here for you every step of the way.

As your big, I want to guide you in the right direction, but I will support you and your choices to the best of my ability. I only want the best for you in every regard.

I will strive to be the best mentor possible to you, as I was just in your shoes not overly long ago. I want to help you through all of life's obstacles, whether it be that silly boy that's been bugging you, or maybe you need a study buddy for your exam next week. No matter what it is, no matter the time, I will be there for you.

My big has helped me through a lot. She is a great counselor, friend, support system and late-night take-out accomplice. I promise to be all of that and then some for you, little one. I never had any biological sisters, so I vow to create a sense of family in our tree from the moment of your reveal and welcoming into our tree, to your initiation as a sister, to graduation and onward.

I don't want us to be the big and little who lose contact once our college careers come to a close. Big and little is a lifelong connection, as your big/little is the person with whom you typically develop the closest bond in your respective sisterhood.

I will look after you and serve as an older sister figure for you in your times of need, or even if you just need a Tuesday Starbucks buddy.

My Pinterest consists of a plethora of crafts and trinkets that I am simply dying to make for you. I've been shopping for you all summer, and I don't even know who you are yet! I look forward to meeting you in whatever way that we were destined to be brought together. I eagerly await the day of reveal, where you'll meet the rest of your crazy family. However, it'll be much more than the cute matching Ts from Etsy.

It will be the beginning of a beautiful bond and the start of many memories. Before you know it, you'll be the one anxiously awaiting to receive her little, and I am already so excited for you. Until then, let's just enjoy the ride.

(And just for your information, I've already thought of about five Instagram captions for reveal, hopefully I decide on one in time.)

Love always,

Biggie

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
