An Open Letter To My Little As I Graduate

How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard. -A. A. Milne

An Open Letter To My Little As I Graduate
Kayce Davis

Dear Littlest,

You are by far one of the best things that happened to me these past 4 years (other than getting my perfect big). Leaving you is going to be harder than having to deal with my big when she left because I am the one who is doing the leaving. My experience in Delta Zeta would not have been the same without you. I am so glad I jumped head first into the role of being your big. I think the best thing about our relationship is the fact we weren't instantly connected, in the way people think "big/little" should be. We had our bumps in the road but it led us to where we are today and I wouldn't change it for the world. Getting to know you, your likes and dislikes, your favorite things and everything else. I had met you once, but you (for whatever reason) thought I would make a good big to you. I was ready, I was willing and I couldn't have been happier.

Big/Little week was so much fun to get to trick you and throw you off, all the while knowing you would be running to me come Friday. These past few years with you have been nothing short of amazing. From social, to formal, to chapters, to retreats, games, Thursday nights, birthdays and everything else. You are my best friend, my confidant and my rock.

Thank you for always being there for me, never judging me and always telling me like it is. You may not know it but you have taught me so much about life. You helped me grow in myself because you are literally like my child. I love your heart and the way you care for others. You are truly beautiful inside in and out. You are one of a kind and any man would be lucky to have you.

When I graduate always remember that I am only a phone call/text/ snap chat away. I will never leave you. You are stuck with me for the rest of our lives. Your last semester without me is going to be easier than you think because you are strong, and you have Gee. You two will have each other and hopefully a Gee of your own someday. I know when my big left I was lost to find my way, but then you came along and made everything okay again. Luckily for you, you already have a little of your own to help. I am going to miss you and Gee tremendously. Maybe we will both get lucky enough to go to Charlotte and room together for grad school.

I really cannot put into enough words the joy you bring me and the happiness you bring to my life. The only thing making it semi-easy is the fact that this isn't a goodbye, just a see you later.

I love you and all that you are little one.

Love,

Your Big.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?

For the average 20-something, life moves pretty fast. You’ve got classes, friends, relationships, jobs, family, and whatever else we overcommit ourselves with. I probably should have learned to say no to adding more to my schedule a long time ago, but instead here are 11 things that can be more helpful than coffee.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.
