A Letter To My Little

My Dearest little,

Happy Initiation week! This Saturday, you will no longer be a new member but instead will become an active member of Phi Lamb. In a way, nothing will change, but in another, everything changes. I always said I would never join a sorority and I didn’t. I joined a sisterhood, a family, and something so much more. I hope that a year from now when you are preparing to initiate my g-little, that this experience means as much to you as it has to me. I hope that Phi Lamb is everything you dreamed it would be and that you grow even closer to your sisters than you are today.

I am so glad I get to initiate you into the active body of Phi Lamb this week! I've been anxiously awaiting this special time since my initiation last December. It's so hard to believe that it's time for you to be initiated! This week is going to be crazy since its dead week and initiation week, but it will be well worth it in the end!

I am so glad you found Phi Lamb and decided to join our amazing family. I honestly could not imagine having anyone else as my little and I am so grateful that I am a part of your life. Even though I've only known you since September, I feel like I've known you forever! I cannot wait to see what the coming years bring us and our little family! I am so happy for you and sooner than you know you'll be getting your own little and initiating her!

As your time as a new member ends and your time as an active begins, I want you to know that even though this chapter of your Phi Lamb life closes, being an active is just as fun and just as special! I will support you no matter what, whether its choosing to run for exec team, or making the choice to go inactive (I hope that never happens, but if it does, I am here for you. Always.) I am here. I believe in you. I love you and I thank God for you each day. I can’t believe you’re my little! Congratulations on becoming an Active!

Love,

Your Big

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Panicking and pulling all-nighters will not allow you to get an A.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
