Now That You're My Little...

Welcome to the family.

Now That You're My Little...

Little,

It's only been a short time since you joined our family, but I know I couldn't be happier. When I got emailed the official list and saw that your name was next to mine, I jumped and squealed with excitement.

Big Little week was a blast! Crafting all night and those last minute Michael runs were worth it when you would post a picture of it at the end of the day. Reveal got my heart pumping as I was wrapped up in the discount Christmas wrapping paper I had purchased. The whole time nervous, I know you had picked me somewhere on your list but their was a slight fear that when you unwrapped me you wouldn't be happy. Boy, did you prove me wrong. The second you unwrapped me, you wrapped me again in a tight hug.

I am so lucky to have a little like you. Someone who didn't care if I couldn't get the reveal shirts in on time, or how great my crafts were (even though they were stellar). Someone who was just genuinely excited to reach the end of the week so that our Big/little relationship could begin.

You have a wonderful family you joined. I am lucky enough not just for a wonderful little, but a wonderful big. My big, your grand-big, has been a true big sister to me since day one. Through thick and thin, through random venting phone calls and just watching HGTV on a Saturday night in, she has always been there. Just like she is there for me, she can't wait to get to know you more. The first time she met you was during Big/little week and afterwards she sprinted upstairs to tell me how perfect you are.

I vow to you that I will be as present, loving and particularly sassy as my own big.

I vow to always be a phone call or text away.

I vow to maintain our best friends status on SnapChat.

I vow to make time for you as much as possible.

I vow to help you through your life in our sorority and your life in general.

I can't say enough how lucky I am to get the opportunity to get to know you on such a personal level and grow this special big/little bond. I will try my absolute best to be the best big I can be.

With Love,

Big

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
