An Open Letter To My Future Big

I cannot wait to have you be beside me throughout my journey here at school and life.

An Open Letter To My Future Big
Illinois State University Alpha Gamma Delta

Dear Future Big,

Who knew that I would actually be here today saying that I will have a Big in about two weeks. I have been so stressed out trying to deal with balancing the school life and sorority life that I lost track of time. Can you believe that I have been in the sorority for a month now? It seems like just yesterday I was meeting you and the other 176 girls; it just hit me--I will soon have someone to look up to more than ever.

You already know who I am, and that kind of scares me. Do you want to scream every time you see me? Do you want to tell me already that I am your little? How did you decide to choose me?

I have no idea who you are. I am counting down the days until I can turn around after you tap my shoulder and see your beautiful loving face welcome me with open arms.

I bet you are beyond stoked to see my reaction and freak out when I realize that you are you. You are my BIG! So I just have a few things to say to you.

1. I will ask you a million questions.

I still have yet to figure out this sorority life, so I will probably text you about 20 times a day. I will ask you if my outfit for the night is super cute, if my roommate is being irrational, or I just need someone to drink wine and watch New Girl with.

2. I will look to you like my older sister.

I will look to you for everything. I will not know what do when I get a bad grade on an exam; I will not know what to do when all of our formals come around. I will always have someone to go to dinner or shopping with. I will always have someone by my side who I can say, yes she's my BIG sister.

3. I cannot wait to be spoiled.

I've been spending what feels like a million dollars on clothes that have my new home on them. We all have done the same thing when we were pledge class babies. Now you have well over 50 t-shirts and sweatshirts and have no idea what to do with them. I will gladly take care of them for you and pass them down to my little. I will wear them with pride; when everyone asks where I got it, I will say that my big sister got it for me.

4. I will forever cherish you.

I hope you know that since you decided to be my big, you are now an honorary bridesmaid in my future wedding. I may be single, but you are loved by me enough that you are already going to be holding a bouquet in my wedding. I am beyond glad to have you be by my side throughout absolutely everything.

I cannot thank you enough for you picking me to be your little. I cannot wait for these next few weeks where I am constantly guessing who you are. I also cannot wait for the moment when I learn who you are. My life as a sorority girl is just starting, and I am so glad that you will be a part of my journey here.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

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.
