Things I Never Told My Little
Ariana Vega

My dearest little love,

You already know how obsessed I am with you, but you have no idea what an amazing impact you’ve had on my college experience. Here are all the things I never told you, but want you to know.

You have no idea how happy I was when I found out I was your big. I literally cried tears of joy. You are the little sister I've always wanted. It was my mission to spoil you rotten and stalk the hell out of you on social media. I was ecstatic when I learned you wanted me as a big because you are way to cool for me, but that only gave me more of a reason to make sure I could be the best big possible.

You have kept me sane on multiple occasions. I’ve had moments where I really consider dropping out of school and starting a career as a dancer named Dirty Angel. But just a single visit, text, or even snapchat from you makes me feel like I can take on the world. I know you think I have my life together (even though I’m a mess 90% of the time), but having you believe in me is all I need sometimes.

I love that you love all the gifts I got you and that you acted totally surprised on reveal day. I’m pretty sure you knew I was your big from the very beginning, but thank you for going along with my tricks. Every time you posted on Facebook during big little week about how much you loved your big even though you didn’t know who she was (liar) and when I saw you bragging to your friends about all the gifts your big got you and how she knew you so well it made me smile from ear to ear. Thank you for appreciating every little thing I got for you.

You always take care of me. I know I’m the big and I’m supposed to be the one that helps you grow and take care of you, but I feel like you do that for me without even realizing it. Having you as my little the past year has helped me grow as a person. I aspire to be a strong, caring, beautiful woman, like you. You encourage me to be the best version of myself.

Thanks for reminding me how to have fun. I have nights that I refuse to leave my room because I’m overwhelmed with school, work, boys, etc. But as soon as I get that “You coming out tonight, Big?” text, you know I won’t say no. Even if I tried to you would somehow convince me to go out. You remind me to have fun and enjoy college while it lasts. And I could never say no to you!

On the same note, you would never say no to a party. I know I always have my little to go out with me any day of the week. You are a little bundle of joy and I’m always reminded of that every time we go out together.

Always taking the typical big and little photos. You are about half of my insta feed so you know I will freak out if I don’t get a picture with you at every outing we attend. I love that you never argue with my photo ops and you pose for the picture no matter how many retakes I want.

You remind me how lucky I am to be in a sorority. I love experiencing all of your first memories in a sorority by your side. Seeing everything through your eyes reminds me how much I love being involved in such an amazing organization. As cheesy as it sounds, you keep me anchored. Thanks for all you do, little love. You will always be my perfect little ray of sunshine.

Love,

Your Big

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

11 Things I Learned My Freshman Year of College

Not everything you learn in college can be found in a textbook.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.

It's about that time where we are too tired to do anything productive, too cold to leave bed, and too lazy to find a new show to watch so we result to re-runs.

For all of you home-bodies, for all of you cold weather haters, here are my suggestions for this holiday break. Let the binging begin!
