Crafts You Can Start Crafting For Your Little In Advance
Big/Little Basket

Let's face it, Big Little season will be here faster than we know it. And between classes, homework and our social lives, reveal week is going to be crazy. So why not save yourself some stress by making some of your crafts for your little way before reveal? Here are some of the easiest, non-personable crafts you can make for your little before you know who they are!

1. Inspiration Jar

Make them something that they can be encouraged by, but won't take you long to make. All that is needed is a mason jar and some popsicle sticks. You can opt to decorate the jar or leave it blank. If you don't know how many littles you are going to be having, you can still make a ton and give them to you big, your twin or other members of your sorority.

2. Canvases

This is another thing that you can make a ton of and either give away the ones you don't use for your little or stack them all in your little's basket. The best thing is that the possibilities are endless on what you can design on them. That way you can make a few basic ones now and when you find out who your little(s) is/are, you can make one personalized to them.

3. A frame with your letters

Yours doesn't have to be as detailed as the one in the picture, but simply painting a plain wooden frame and then tracing your letters on it would still be an easy craft.

4. Garland

These garlands are so cute and they are a craft you don't have to make for just your little. They'd be great in your room or for events hosted by your sorority. These can be handmade or bought plain so you just have to add your letters.

5. Candy puns

You may want to put her favorite candy in her basket, but you can still make some with generic candy for clue week. Candy is always a super easy thing to throw in last minute to give the basket a little extra volume, but putting a cute note on it will make it look like you put a lot of effort into even the little things. (Also I recommend not buying the candy until reveal week, you could get tempted easily).

6. Animal craft

It doesn't have to be a cheesy kids craft. You could incorporate your sorority's animal onto a painted mug, paddle or canvas. It is a really simple idea that doesn't require putting their name or your letters on it.

7. Pin frame

This is a much easier and cheaper variation of a pin box. All that is needed is a small picture frame, cotton wool and felt. Easily done in less than five minutes if you don't need to paint the frame. This is also an easier way for your little to display their pin!

8. Your letters

Arguably the most important things to have in your little's basket. There are a million and one ways to decorate wooden letters, so you are sure to be able to make something to go along with your theme.

Other cheap things you don't have to craft that you can put in the basket

There are also a number of things that can be added to your little's basket to make it look more voluminous if it's looking a bit empty. Filling it with these small things she can use everyday are sure to be a hit.

Nail polish in your sorority's colors

Socks

Chapstick

Headbands

Candy

Faux flowers in your colors

Jewelry

Lotion

Perfume

Journal

Makeup bag

Mugs

Tumblr cups

Old sorority shirts, hats, sweaters, etc

Starbucks gift cards

So get crafting, have fun, and remember, Pinterest and Hobby Lobby coupons are your BFF.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
