5 Gifts To Give Your Future Little
Youniveristy TV

Recruitment is approaching fast as workshops, preparation and raw excitement fills up both our schedules and our minds. With so much to do before August, why not take a break from the nitty gritty and daydream about your future little? The influence my big(s) had on me during these past two semesters has been incomprehensible. I hope to be the same sort of positive influence they were to me.

Gifts for your little can drain your wallet and stress out the perfectionist. Why not take a little inspiration from here?


1. A customized initial for their door.

I'm a fan of this simple gift myself, as it's a great idea for any dorm or sorority house living friend if they don't have something similar already. You could expand this gift to being your sorority letters or all three of her initials. Mix it up.

What you need:

13" wooden letter, Hobby Lobby: $3.49

Paint, Michael's: $.79

Total cost of gift: $4.28, before tax.


2. A fashionable up-cycled tank top.

The hot summer and early fall months don't leave us with many options to beat the heat. Luckily, this gift will last longer than the heat will. By using a sorority tank top you already own or buying an inexpensive one from the store you can create a great gift they couldn't buy elsewhere. Braid it, crop it or knot it according to your little's style with the tutorials featured on Gurl.

Total cost of gift: Price of the tank top.


3. A bath bomb. Or two. Or three.

If her dorm has a bath tub, don't pass this up. Bath bombs have become increasingly popular as of late and it's clear as to why! The relaxation a bath bomb offers is like a bubble bath with candles all in one. My favorite brand is, of course, Lush, because of the variety available. You can always DIY if there's not a store nearby or shipping doesn't appeal to you. With this tutorial, you can make about nine bath bombs for approximately $10. Good deal!

What you need:

Lush bath bomb: Approximately $6.50.

DIY bath bombs: Approximately $10 for nine.

Total cost of gift: $6.50-$10, before tax or shipping.


4. A Netflix gift card.

Some people say gift cards are a thoughtless gift. Well, I think if I'm helping someone binge "Grey's Anatomy" then I did a pretty good job of choosing a gift. I may never hear from them again, but as long as my little is pleased I'm happy with my choice of gift. The price of the gift cards I usually see around is a bit steeper than the other gifts listed here, but it also pays for at least three months of subscription. You can get these anywhere from Amazon or Target.

Total price of gift: $30


5. Your support, friendship, and love.

What a cliche, right? But seriously, this is really important. Your little is traversing the path you had to find your way through before and you know how difficult it can be. You should definitely help your little have fun, but you should also be there for them whenever they need it. They will absolutely need it.

Total price of gift: Priceless.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
