10 Ways Your Little Is Actually like Your Child

Allie Ingram

Even though your little isn't blood, she sure seems like it. Here are some 10 points that your little is pretty much your child:

1. You enjoy spoiling her.

You've never been so excited to spend money on someone other than yourself. Showering your little with gifts feels like a treat. Come big/little reveal, initiation, and their birthday, you can hardly contain your excitement to see them open what you've so thoughtfully put together. It's actually like you're their parents watching them open the shiny new bike they've been asking for. Only the best for your little, duh.

2. You're protective over her.

When you see a scummy boy coming onto her, you're the first one to her rescue. If you hear something negative said about her, you step in to defend her. If she's in an argument, you are always on her side. Hello, how could your perfect little ever be wrong?

3. You give her what she wants.

If she wants to borrow anything, it's hers. It's like everything you own might as well be hers too. If she needs a favor, you go out of your way to do it for her. If she wants to go out, then you want to go out. Little gets what little wants, but it's all out of love.

4. You're responsible for her behavior.

From the moment you take her under your wing, all of the older girls count on you to keep her in line. If she's misbehaving at the bar or being catty to other girls, it is your responsibility to let her know. What she does rests on your shoulders. With a child comes accountability... *sigh*

5. Your relationship is judgment-free.

This just with being big/little. One of the reasons you clicked so well is because you respected each other and felt comfortable around one another. Just like family, you can come to each other with anything and not worry about being judged. She's never going to judge you when you're suffering the worst hangover of your life, and you're not going to judge her when she goes back to that same guy, for the third time this semester.

6. You mentor her.

Any tips and tricks that have helped you get by in college, you want to share with her. You want her to know all of the shortcuts, all of the dos and don'ts, and all of the secrets you never knew. You want to warn her about every mistake that you made and learned from. Anything you can possibly help her with, you do.

7. You show her off.

You get excited to show her off to everyone that you can. You have taken at least 20 pictures together since bid day, for good reason: so everyone can see. Whenever you go out together, you introduce her to everyone. She's probably met the same people about a trillion times. Some of your most common phrases are, "Have you met my little?" or "You have to meet my little!" or "Isn't my little pretty?!" You're actually like that mom that brags about her child to all the other moms.

8. You feel for her.

When she's happy, you're happy. When she's upset, you're upset. You hate to see her going through a hard time and it hurts you just as much as it hurts her. If she's down, you do whatever you can to cheer her up. Her happiness is just as important to you as your own.

9. You listen and give advice.

Your little comes to you in times of need to vent, and you are always there to listen to her. Giving advice is like second nature to you. Having experience in college really comes in handy when taking a little, because you have a full year, if not more, of knowledge ahead of her. It is almost maternal in the way that you offer your advice.

10. You love her like family.

No matter what she does, you will always love her. No matter what arguments you two go through, you know that you will always get over it and still remain close. You inspire and encourage each other, and the bond you share is something you cherish.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
