A Letter To My Future Little

Dear Future Little,

It's kind of hard to believe that I'm going to become someone who in a sense, is like a big sister to you. I've never been a big sister to another girl before and I honestly don't really know what to expect. I'd hope that you like me just as much as I like you because most likely, I will be crazy about you. I hope you'll see me as someone you can depend on and look up to. Coming to college, I didn't have any experience with Greek life except for what I saw in "The House Bunny" and "Sydney White". I know both of those movies were very heavily stereotyped, but they both had a common lesson:

In the end, where you end up and who you end up surrounding yourself with should put you in place where you feel completely accepted. I can go on and on about having movie marathons together and taking late night trips to get fast food (which are still the best thing ever) but I want you to know that it's okay to let every part of you shine through, even the pieces you have a trouble liking about yourself. Because in the end, that's what matters the most. It's about you being about to trust someone fully and not feeling scared to be honest with them.

I get that it's kind of scary to go through a process where you have to find someone to do just that with, someone you have never met before but I'm telling you now, I will try my hardest to a be a friend and sister who you can look at and say, "She's my big and I trust her with all of my heart." I might be expecting a lot to happen between us but it's because I will most likely also be in love with you and think you are the cutest thing ever. It's casual. But anyways, I just want to say that no matter what, I will never judge you and will always be there to help, give advice, be a shoulder to cry on or for whatever you need. College is tough enough already without other factors in life making it harder to get up every day and have the motivation to keep going. I get it. I've been there and I just want you to know that I've got your back. I'm so excited to meet you and I can't wait to start making memories. I hope you have an amazing time going through recruitment and I'll see you soon.

Sincerely,

Your future big

11 College Misconceptions Every Incoming Freshman Needs To Know

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
