Welcome to the family!

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

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.
