Sorority big little week...a time where girls spend most of their time trying to embody a color-coordinated display set up they randomly found on Pinterest. Each school and sorority chapter is different, but most involve gift giving. Now, this personally stressed me out a little bit, not to mention the fact that i was taking on not just one, but TWO littles (I know, I'm crazy). I wanted to spoil them but also found myself not necessarily having the funds to do this. So, let's get ~crafty~

1. Flowers

Flowers are one of those gifts that are so easy, yet so meaningful. With two littles, you can even split the flowers up and save some money.

2. Mason jars

Fill these with anything and everything. They're super cute and can be used after the festivities are over, too. I put candy, gift cards, small items and more inside of the jars and wrapped some ribbon around to make them more visually appealing.

3. Fuzzy socks

You can never have too many pairs of fuzzy socks and they're a given item that your little will love!

4. Picture frame

Buy a picture frame and stick a cute picture of the two of you inside, or if you're trying to keep the week of the reveal a secret, put a little note inside that reads something along the lines of "Insert a cute picture of us here!"

5. Stickers

If you walk around a college campus where Greek life is present, you'll most likely see Greek letters on laptops, water bottles, cars, etc. You can't go wrong with purchasing some stickers of your sorority letters for your little to deck out her new gear.

6. Face masks

Face masks are cheap, small, and you can pile them up to make a cute display. I know that my littles were so excited to get some skin treatment and even got some for myself so that we could all have a face mask party.

7. Canvas paintings

If you have enough paint and consider yourself an artistic person, you've got a huge advantage and can create some unique and personal paintings for your little. Pinterest has lots of ideas for paintings that pertain to sorority related designs, but also has many ideas for trendy wall art as well.

8. Greek letters

Wooden greek letters that you can paint are SO appreciated by the little sisters. They would love nothing more than to be able to hang them up in their dorm and show off their cute letters. There are so many different designs and variations available to personalize the letters, be creative!

9. T-SHIRTS

Your little is relatively new to the sorority and probably doesn't have too many t-shirts to wear around yet. I had an excessive amount of shirts, some that I never even wear, from a bunch of events and some that my big passed down to me. Trade shirts with some sisters and give your little some tees so she can represent your letters.

10. Snacks

Your little, or any girl, will definitely appreciate some free food. Purchase a basket and put a few of her favorite snacks and candy inside, you can maybe even add some colored frilly filling inside to make it look fuller and cuter!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
