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.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
