A Letter To My Little

I can't wait for all the memories ahead of us

A Letter To My Little
Alison Houghton

To my new little one:


I'm so excited to call you my little. I've so been looking forward to becoming a big since the day I got my big sister two years ago. Right after our very first conversation I knew you would be the perfect little for me. In my time in our sorority I've had some ups and some downs, but the best moment by far was when I found out I would become your big.

Since the moment I got my big sister, I could not wait to get a little of my own. After running into her arms on big/little night, I was so excited to have this experience from the other side. From first time I met my big, I immediately began to admire her. I still aspire to be only half the person she is. In college she had an exec board position in not just our sorority but in other clubs on campus. She had straight A's and was in several honor societies. My big is my role model, and I knew I wanted to have someone, someday, that looked up to me the way I looked up to her.

When I first found out I was going to be your big, I literally jumped for joy. I couldn't wait to introduce you to the rest of our greek family, show you our traditions, and share memories with you. The thought of spending all my time and money crafting in the few days leading up to big/little reveal didn't scare me, or stress me out, it excited me. When big/little night finally came, I was so thrilled to finally reveal myself as your big. Although we've only been big and little for a few weeks now, words can't begin to describe how excited I am for all of the memories we are going to make.

I'm excited for the Netflix and Take-out nights ahead of us. I'm excited for the birthdays we will celebrate together. I'm excited for the inside jokes we are going to have. I'm excited for all the date nights and formals we will attend together. I'm excited to give you advice about whatever you need. Mostly, I am excited to see you grow in our sisterhood.

Little, know that I will always be here for you no matter what. Know that I will always be down to eat pizza with you in the middle of the night. Know that I will always be ready to go on a mall trip with you - even if I'm broke. Know that I am always just a text or phone call away - no matter what.


I can't wait for what is ahead of us, because I know it will be amazing!


Love,

Big

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
