Big/Little Week is one of the craziest, most exciting weeks I have ever experienced. All that craziness and excitement is amplified a hundred times over when you're the Big yourself. This is Big/Little Week, with all its ups and downs, as told by GIFS from "Friends."


Finding out who your little is.

Opening your envelope to find out who your little is is insanely nerve-wracking and exciting. It's basically up there with how you felt getting your bid on Bid Day.

Realizing immediately afterwards that it's crunch time.

Somehow this week creeped up on you faster than you thought it would. You have to craft, shop, bake, while also writing essays and studying for tests. It'll all be worth it in the end though.

Starting your shopping and going a bit overboard.

You find yourself saying "My little needs this." a lot. Before you know it, you're absolutely broke. But hey, no regrets here!

Trying your hand at crafting and realizing you're no Picasso.


You scroll through Pinterest looking at all the insanely beautiful canvases and crafts and tell yourself: "Yeah I can do that!" But when you attempt it, it ends up absolutely atrocious. Let's hope your little knows it's the thought that counts.

When you're pretty sure your little already know it's you.

You're just really bad at keeping secrets.

Sneaking some of the candy you bought your little.


"I'm sure she won't miss this one Hershey's kiss" you tell yourself. Besides, after this week, you deserve some chocolate too.

When someone asks you how your week is going.

You've barely slept in 5 days, but yeah, you're fine...

When your friends ask if you wanna hang out this week.

You're just so tired. Any time not spent on showering your little in gifts will be spent on sleep.

Reveal day.

Today's the day. Everything has lead to this. The pressure starts getting to you. What if your little is disappointed? What if you fall out of your box? What if you don't get there on time? Overall though, you're just flippin' excited!

Waiting in the box.

How long have you been in this box? You can't even remember. Was there life before sweating your butt off in an awkward squat position in this cardboard prison? You just want to jump out of this box and hug your little already!

The reveal.

This is it. The moment you've been anxiously anticipating for months. You pop out of the box as your little tackles you in a giant bear hug. You did it! You survived Big/Little week! Now take some cute fam pics with your new little!

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.
