Welcome to the family G-Littles,

I know you have had a crazy couple of weeks between songs practice, meetings, and basket week...but now, reveal is finally here!!! You have been wondering all week who could be the girl behind all of your wonderful baskets. I'm happy to say that that girl is my little!

She has loved you since day one, and I can't wait to see y'all's relationship grow. Having a little of my own has been such a blessing and now, adding two new additions to the family, I couldn't be more excited!

I hope you know what you are getting yourselves into. This family is loud. This family is a good time. This family is full of bad jokes. This family is kind. This family is loving. This family will be you saving grace because I know it has been mine.

Waiting for you at reveal was the most nerve-racking and exciting experience. Dressed up in my nightgown and slippers while jamming out to Beyoncé with the rest of the family is something you can't get anywhere else. We knew your reaction would be confused, or maybe even scared, but it was so worth it. There honestly isn't a more accurate depiction of our family than that, and we are so glad that we got to share that with you.

I hope you enjoy being the babies of the family because, before you know it, you will be taking littles of your own! However, until then, I will be the one spoiling you—just as every grandmother should. From late night study sessions, to girls nights out, to random trips to Austin, I can't wait to share all of these memories with you. You deserve the world, and I want to give it to you!

Without this family, I'm unsure how I would have gotten this far in college. These girls will be there to celebrate with you on your best days, and they will be there to cry with you on your worst days. No matter whats going on in your life, we will always be there for you.

This family is a safe haven where you can be apologetically yourself. No one will judge you for being a shamble show, or slipping up on a test, or even going out in public with rollers in your hair. Its our job to be there for each other no matter what. Growing up with only brothers, I never knew what is was like to have sisters. After joining a sorority, I gained close to 300 sisters, but more specifically, I gained a family of my own.

I have learned to not take advantage of the time we have together because there will come a day when we do have to graduate and immerse ourselves in the real world. No matter the distance, no matter the time, no matter the place, we will always be family, and I will always be there for you.

I already love you so much G-Lits, and I can't wait to see our friendship grow into a lifelong bond. Keep being yourself, don't be afraid to take risks, and never forget family!

XO,

G-Biggy

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
