One of my favorite things about being in a sorority is the fact that you get to have your own little family! I remember last year when I found out who my big was. She was so sweet, and she made me feel like the coolest girl in the world. This year it is my turn to be a big, and I am beyond excited! My roommate and I spent the last week in a frenzy trying to get everything ready to welcome the newest members of our families. So I thought I would compose a list of thoughts that every girl has while she is preparing for her little.

1. I can’t believe they are sending out the list tonight!
2. I cannot contain my excitement!
3. *Repeatedly refreshes email* Oh my gosh where is it?!?!?!
4. Ah here it is!
5. OH MY GOD I LOVE HER!
6. She is the cutest thing in the world!
7. Our family stack is going to be totally amazing.
8. I’m going to text her and tell her how adorable she is!
9. Oh wait. I forgot I have to wait a WHOLE week before reveal!
10. How am I going to make it?
11. Oh well, I will just distract myself by making her super cute crafts.
12. I am going to blow everyone else’s crafts out of the water.
13. I want her to be like “look at what my big made me!”
14. Time for another trip to Michael’s.
15. Do I want a super large canvas or a few little ones?
16. Both it is.
17. Do I need glitter?
18. Never mind. What kind of question is that? Of course I do!
19. Paint, paint, and more paint.
