My sorority is having the most amazing and most stressful week, but we just like to call it Big Little Week. With this week there are many emotions felt all around the chapter with the bigs, littles, and other members. Everyone is stressed to the max to make sure it goes perfectly. Some people outside the Greek world may wonder to themselves "How could this week come with such stress? It's supposed to be a fun week." Well they're right. It is a fun week, but having been on both sides of that stress here are some of the thoughts that go through the heads of the bigs and littles during Big Little Week.
Bigs
1. Do I have enough stuff in this basket?
2. No, I can still see a little gap there. Let's fill it in.
3. *looks at other Big's baskets* Now I have way too much. I should take some out.
or
4. *looks at other Big's baskets* I don't have nearly enough. Let's go buy more things!
5. Keeping secrets is hard.
6. I bet she knows.
7. She just gave me a weird look. Yep. She knows I'm her Big.
8. I can't take this stress.
9. One more day until reveal. I can do this.
10. It's almost here.
11. Finally! Little!
12. No more secrets! She's all mine!
Littles
1. I wrote down a list of people like month ago and the week is finally here.
2. In less than one week I get to meet my big.
3. I wonder if she's going to give me true clues.
4. She's probably been lying to me for weeks.
5. I really hope its *insert sister's name here*
6. If it's not I'm going to cry.
7. If it is I'm probably still going to cry.
8. I am getting so spoiled!
9. I love all these gifts!
10. I still have no idea who she could be.
11. It's reveal day!
12. OMG! OMG! OMG! I got my big finally and she's all mine.
So there you have it. I narrowed it down to 12 because Lord knows there are so many more than that. It's at least 200 a day, and some of them you may not be fully aware of. Despite all the stress Big Little Week was oh so kind to me and I love my Big and my first ever Little. Now excuse me while I go spend some family bonding time with my tree.
