7 Reasons Why Bigs Are The Best

After everything she has done for me.

7 Reasons Why Bigs Are The Best
Jenna Fisler

Being in a sorority has been one of the best decisions I made. I know that can be pretty typical from any sorority girl but just thinking about how I’m so close to graduation ive been reminiscing on when I first got my big and everything that she has done for me.

1. She listens to me go on and on

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve gone to my big to just vent about how horrible one of my classes is or how this boy I’ve been talking to is being annoying (because all boys have been one time or another), or basically anything going on in my life.


2. She Encourages Me

There are always days when you don’t feel your best or in my case, has no idea what I want to do for the rest of my life, and my big has been there to encourage me through the hard times and I’m really thankful for that.

3. She Deals With My Drama

Every time I had something bad or dramatic going on in my life, she has seen me upset, crying my eyes out and has turned my mood around so well I honestly don’t know how she handles me sometimes.


4. She is Always Excited to See Me


Every time I go meet her for lunch or go to the house for chapter meetings, etc. She always waves and comes over to say hi with a big smile on her face and it’s nice to see after exhausting days.

5. We Have So Much In Common


From listening to the same bands to even living nearby back at home, I know there is a reason we bonded instantly and it’s so great to always have something to talk about with my big even if we haven’t seen each other in a while.

6. She Helps Me Out

Sometimes she will pick up stuff at the house for me because she knows she will see me (mostly because we live only one apartment building away from each other), to paying for apple cider (it was only a dollar), to bringing a plunger over. She has helped me so much with the little things that have added up over time and I’m glad I can lean on her for help.

7. She's Helped Me Become An Amazing Big


I was so excited last year when I got my little and her helping me out and coaching me on things all “little” related has been amazing. I hoped to become as amazing as her to my little. (I hope I am)

These are just a few things out of many things she does for me and thinking about graduating and not being in my sorority is scary, but I know she will always be there for me through thick and thin and I just wanted to say thank you everything you have done for me because I look up to you so much!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
