A (very corny) Letter to My Big

If you have read my articles previously, you would know that I never saw myself as a sorority girl. I had no idea what to even expect coming into this and finding all these new "sisters" that are going to be in your life for a very a long time. Honestly, I didn't really believe it at first. How am I going to become friends with over 100 new girls and call them friends for life? I didn't believe this until I met my big (or as I like to call her my person).

Meeting my big was something that I definitely underestimated. Everyone telling you, "you will find that one person, you will just know." When I heard this I was like what does that even mean. And then I met Megan (as creepy as it sounds I promise we are not dating). I love my big with everything in me because of how much she is like me and how much she is different from me. She keeps me in check if I'm being outrageous but she also is very similar to me where we both get really frazzled really easily or when we both get sweaty. Your big is someone who is going to be there for you no matter what you are going to and I believe that is the best thing being in a sorority gave me. (Some may say I am obsessed with her which is super creepy but somewhat true in the least creepy way possible) But as I said before she is my person

I call her my person because she is everything that I want to be and everything that I look up to. She is someone who is always is there for me no matter what and always knows how to make me feel better. She has become my best friend in a span of two months (which seems crazy but it all just happened so fast- again not dating). It's the kind of friendship that I know will be there for my entire life and I feel so lucky to say that. She is not only an older sister to me but also like a mom and a boyfriend all wrapped into one (because who needs boys am I right!!!!) But in all seriousness I cannot thank her enough for being the person she is and for wanting me to be a better person. For leading me in the right direction and making sure I'm always happy and okay. I am so thankful for everything she does for me and so thankful to call her my big.


So meg this is for you and all the other amazing bigs out there I hope that everyone is as lucky as I am xoxo TLAM

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
