An Open Letter To My Little During Big Little Week

Dear Little,

You are mere days away from finding out who I am and I am so excited. I was not originally planning on taking a little but when I was asked if I would take you, I couldn't refuse. I already have one little but I know that you will love her as much as I do and that you will become great friends.

I know that this week is overwhelming. All you will want to do all week is go to the house to get your presents, but school always comes first. If you have a lot going on, go to the house a little late to get your presents, they will still be there waiting for you. I hope you love all of your presents, I spent hours crafting just for you.

I will do my very best to be a good big to you. I know that I'm not perfect, but I will try my hardest. I will be there at 2am if you need me, I will be there to eat ice cream with you if you bomb a quiz and I will be there to help you study for your new member test in two weeks. I will be at your initiation (even though it is crazy early) and I will be there ready to hug you and congratulate you on becoming an active member.

I promise that I will watch stupid movies with you on weekends when we're both bored and I promise to drag you along to go do fun things when you need to take a break from studying. I will introduce you to new people and let you steal shirts out of my closet. I will randomly buy you stuff because it goes on sale and happens to be your size and I will bring you donuts or coffee just because.

I will always be around when you don't know what to do and I will always be willing to listen to your problems. In getting a big you are getting a confidant, a personal therapist and an objective ear all at once. I will tell you when you are reading too much into a situation and I will tell you when you're right. I will always be on your side and I will always help you see sense.

I moved away from home to go to college and I was able to find a family within Alpha Gam and I hope that you find nothing short of family within our chapter. I will always be a text or a phone call away and I will take you anywhere you need to go.

I can't wait to see the woman you become in our chapter and to watch you take your own little (or littles) sooner than you'd expect. I can't wait to watch you fall in love with you little as I have fallen in love with you and to watch you say "That's her. She is my little." weeks before the big little pairings begin.

I can't wait to be there for you and to learn from you as you learn from me. We all have lessons to teach and lessons to learn and a big and little are the best people to learn from each other.

I am so ready to help guide you through the remainder of your first year at Western and to help you through your first year as a sorority woman. You have so much to offer our chapter and you will help the chapter come farther than ever expected.

You will always have me around to help or just hang out, and I can't wait for reveal on Friday to finally get to call you my little and to finally get to show you how much you mean to me already. I love you so much already, little.

Now I just need you to know I'm your big.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
