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

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
