Open Letter To My Grand-Littles

Welcome to the family!

Open Letter To My Grand-Littles
Personal

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

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
