To My Grand Little, Welcome To The Family

Yes, lots of things are changing in your life but your family will always be there for you.

To My Grand Little, Welcome To The Family
Alexa DeClue

Dear Grand Little,

I'm not sure you know what you have gotten yourself into yet. Our family is not a typical one, in any sense of the word.

We are loud and people may stare

Sometimes we are loud and I mean loud. Especially your big, heads will turn.

Half of us have the same major

Sorry if we go off on a tangent about classes, we kind of live in our own world half the time. Feel free to tell us to shut up and pay attention to you, seriously.


You will be loved

I know that everything is changing in your life right now, but you are already loved more than you know. We take the meaning of family to heart and we will always be here for you, no matter what.


You can ask us anything

College, it is a new experience and I don't want you to feel like you are wandering around by yourself. I can tell you, anyone of us would drop everything if you need something or someone. (Cue Friends theme song)


If big says no, come to me

I may say no as well, but what's the hurt in asking? I might be able to get something worked out for you.

You don't have to do it alone

Sigma event, we will be there. Something that is on campus, we will be there. You will always have someone to go to places with. Wanna go volunteer somewhere, you can drag us with you. Families get things done better together, you know?


We will talk about boys

Whether it be trashing boys or talking about which one is hot. We will talk about it because we want to make sure that whatever boy is in your life is good enough for you.


This family is a family. We love each other and think that we would cut off an arm and a leg (not in a literal sense) to make sure that everyone is happy. We will always be your go to people and I don't want you to feel like anything you want to talk about is off limits. Yes I am your GBig, but that doesn't mean I am just a person to your big, I can a person to you too.

Love,

Your GBig

It's a pain to learn but it's definitely worth it in the end.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
