10 Things I Need To Thank My Bigs For, Because Two Is Better Than One And They Really Are The Best
Marlee Nickow

Before big/little reveal, I was determined to create a close bond with whoever my big would be, or in my case bigs. Now that it is long past the reveal, I can honestly say that my bigs are two of my closest friends. Honestly, I don’t know how I would deal with the ups and downs of college without them.

So, thank you both for…

1. The best big/little reveal

Me being me, I hate surprises. I kept asking people trying to find out who my big was (sorry!), but obviously I had no luck. Thank goodness I didn’t! Thank you for making the reveal so fun and surprising. It was definitely one of the best days of school thus far.

2. Being positive when I may not be

It is really easy for me to give up or not want to try in certain situations. Thank you for telling me that everything will be okay, but only if I am proactive and do something about it. You never want to see me sad, and I of course never want to see either of you sad, so that works out! You are constantly telling me the upside of a crappy situation, and that is always appreciated.

3. Hanging with me when we’re out


Thank you for always sticking by my side, even when it’s just for a couple minutes, when we are out. It’s so comforting to know that you guys are there to talk to or there if anything comes up. You both are always my go-to’s.

4. The best advice

This is a big one. Thank you so much for the endless advice that actually helps me get through the easy and hard days. No matter what it is advice about, I always know that talking to you guys will help me feel better and confident about whatever is going on. Even when you have lots of homework and studying to do, it is much appreciated that you still take time to listen to me and really help. I do not have enough thank you’s in the world, so please know how much it actually means to me. Ugh ILY.

5. Taking the best pictures with me

You guys could probably be my whole Instagram feed let's be real. We actually take the best pictures together! There could be a picture taken with hair super messy, and no trace of makeup on our faces, and it would absolutely still turn out. We are the CUTEST fam and the pictures definitely further that point.

6. Checking in with me

Thank you for taking time out of your days to ask how I am doing, or how my night was. Keeping you guys updated is super important to me of course, no matter what is happening in my life. Talking to you both and telling you fun stories is one of my favorite things!

7. The candy

Thank you for the skittles! Nuff said.

8. Comforting me when the tears come

You both 100% have been there to see the tears (if you know you know). Thank you for sitting on my bed with me and comforting me. Thank you for helping me to feel better always…I actually appreciate it more than you know. No matter where/when the tears hit, I know you both will always be there to help me get past it and make sure the next day is a much better one.

9. For being like legit moms

Thank you for always watching out for me like a mom would and helping me make right choices because college can be really hard. All while being my close friends, you are still making sure everything is good and safe on my end.

10. Being everything I wanted my bigs to be

I believe we meet everyone for a reason, and I that is definitely the case with you guys. College would really not be the same without you both in my life. Thank you for being two of my best friends. I love you guys!

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
