An Open Letter To My Littles

You are a true blessing

An Open Letter To My Littles
Ashley Brickman

To my littles,

I have officially been your big for a week now and let's just say it’s the most exciting role ever. Life as a ‘big’ may sound silly but I have loved every second of it. I love having the most perfect twins in the world and being your mother figure in Alpha Chi. I birthed the two most amazing girls ever (without the painful experience of course), and I am so proud to be your Big that I have adored every second of putting together your big little basket decorating your box, crafting for you, and decorating your doors for Initiation week.

I had been waiting for this moment for long over a year, honestly ever since I became a little, and now you are my littles. I had prayed for a little for such a long time just as Caroline had prayed for me, and God answered my prayers with not only one little, but two. I will admit, I was a little uneasy about the thought of having twins at first because other people had told me that they “would never want to be a twin," or “my twin and I hated each other”. So, that scared me because all I wanted for the both of you was happiness. I fell in love with both of you and I knew right away that I would never have to worry about you two hating each other because you became fast friends. You both compliment each other in so many ways that I am truly blessed.

As your big, I hope you both know that I will be there for you when you cry, when you’re stressed, when you need someone to keep you company so you’re not alone, or even when you want to go get food. I want to be the one you come to with all of your problems, and I hope that I can help you in anyway possible.

I have absolutely loved getting to know you both. I have so much in common with both of you.

Gracelyn, you love all of the same things I do, such as Harry Potter, S’mores, macaroons, traveling. And I love the way you are so confident in yourself and you care about your well-being. You are truly a strong, independent woman.

Meredith, I love the way the room lights up when you are around, and the excitement you get when we talk about something you care about. We have so much in common, and I hope you soon realize how amazing you truly are. You are so sweet, down to earth and such a talented, dedicated woman.

I cannot wait to see how you both grow within Alpha Chi and the amazing leadership you both will bring to your sisterhood. I love you both so much and I am the luckiest mom in the world to have you two.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
