Becoming A Big

Honestly, it's the most fun.

Becoming A Big

It's no shock that part of being in a sorority is becoming a Big. Most people know that there is a week dedicated to Littles, but most people often assume that Big's just buy their littles a ton of presents and that you spend a lot of money and then you take a lot of photos. The thing that most people don't understand is the fact that becoming a Big is so much more than that, so I'm going to tell you exactly that.

Becoming a Big means taking responsibility for your Little's actions in the sorority. As a Big, I am there to make sure my little succeeds in school, in the sorority, and in life. I am there as her cheerleader, and nothing is better than seeing your Little succeed in something.

Becoming a Big means being your Little's best friend. I will always be there for every incident that my Little ever goes through. I will be the most fun lunch date, and have the best shoulder to cry on. My Little will never feel alone because as her Big, I will always be her best friend.

Becoming a Big means being honest. Sometimes, the hard part of being a Big is telling your Little stuff she may not want to hear, but stuff she needs to hear. As a Big, I want only the absolute best for my little, therefore I will always be honest with her.

Becoming a Big means being protective. I hope no one ever breaks my Littles heart or is mean to her. No Big ever wants that to happen, and I can tell you that I will be so protective over my Little and her feelings. Why? because I'm her Big and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Becoming a Big means spoiling your little. I would be lying if I said spoiling your Little wasn't fun. Seeing how excited Littles get when they receive gifts is one of the most exciting parts of becoming a Big. I now get to spoil my Little forever.

Becoming a Big is so much more than spending money and giving them gifts. Becoming a Big is something I am so incredibly excited for, and as we enter our Big/Little week at my University, I couldn't be more ecstatic for the week to draw to an end and finally be an official Big.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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.

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.
