11 Stages You Go Through Before Big-Little Week

As Big-Little week is coming in a week (at least for my chapter), I thought I should write about the stages you go through while preparing yourself to welcome the little(s) one(s) into the family. It is no secret that along with recruitment week and initiation week, big-little reveal week is also one of the most important weeks in sorority life. I call this week: Greek Christmas because it is like Christmas but know you are playing the role of Santa Claus and at the end of the week you will get an addition to the family tree. It is true that during this week it is just Christmas for the new ladies in the sorority but being a Big has its advantages. However, if you want to read what I think is good of being a Big you can read my past article because today I write to tell you what the bigs think about during this week.

1. When you start meeting the new members, you want to take them all as your littles.

"They are all cute and innocent, I want to take all 107 of them but I'm broke! Also, it is not allowed"

2. You realize that you don't have time to craft.

Do you remember when over the summer you decided you had too much time to craft and didn't do it? Well, I bet you regret that now.

3. When you go to the store to get material you want it all.

Except that afterward,you realize that you are a college student and you are broke. So, you can't just buy everything you see at Michael's.

4. Pinterest is your partner in crime

5. You have paint everywhere

Even the house of the guy I refuse to recognize I'm dating is full of craft and paint stains but both of you are used to it

6. You watch more Netflix than ever before.

Netflix and chill? more like Netflix and craft my life away but okay.

7. You think about twittles

But it is so expensive...

8. It's time to turn in your list

9. You start thinking that your little hates you

10. You think nothing is enough for her.

I want to buy everything for her but I don't have money

11. When Big-Little week is here, you freak out.


However, at the end of the day is all worth it because the new addition to the family is the most amazing you could have ever found!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
