BIG/LIL Week Excitement

Meeting my big was probably the most stressful time of my life.

Being in a sorority means you have the ability to gain friendships that will last lifetimes, as well as have a bond with some of the most amazing girls on your campus. In my opinion, joining a sorority was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Once you accept a bid into a chapter, you eventually go through what they call Big/Little week. This is the best "Christmas in October" ever. At least it was for me. My big was the absolute cutest. When I first met her, it was the day I moved into college. We sparked a conversation and became good friends. Then rush week happened and now we are sisters. But more than that, she is my Big!

Standing inside of Holland Hall in a red plaid shirt, jeans, and boots turned backwards waiting to meet my big was literally the most stressful time of the entire sorority happenings. Of course, I wanted it to be Courtney, and when I saw it was her, I broke into the ugly Kim K cry. I promise, it was ugly.


Being able to have a big is awesome and all, but there is even more to it. I have a GRANDBIG too. Which that just means that my big has a big and we are a cute little family. I love my amaXIng big and grandbig and would not want to trade them for anything. The relationship we had before I was their little was strong, but now it's even stronger and will continue to grow and evolve to something massive.


I don't know how I got so lucky to have the most amazing big and grand big out there! XOXI

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
