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!

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
