A Letter To My Big
Mackenzie Hogan

Dear Big,

I just wanted to take a second and both brag on you and also say thank you. Coming into college and joining a sorority can be very overwhelming, and you made it so much easier for me to feel like I had a piece of family here. I am just so proud to have someone like you as my big. A big is supposed to be someone that you look up to, and I admire the person you are so much. You are so selfless and caring with the perfect touch of sass. You do so much for people without expecting anything back, and your humility makes me want to have more of a servant's heart. What makes you so special is that you do all of this for people even when you are going through your own struggles. Last year you faced probably one of the hardest years you’ll ever experience, and even then, you put others before yourself. I knew the day we met that you were meant to be my big. You were so sweet and I felt like I was already a part of the family. I could tell that you were a genuine person that I wanted to have as my example to follow. Seeing you pop out of that big blue box and getting to run to you at reveal was one of the best days of college so far because I honestly felt like I got the perfect Big for me. I know that God knew exactly what he was doing when he placed me in Alpha Chi and led me to you and G. I love that you are always there encouraging me in everything I do, and pushing me to be the best version of myself. You have always made me feel like I can do anything, and you don’t even know how much I needed that sometimes. Thank you for putting up with my need to take a billion pictures!! (You will appreciate it when we’re older) Thank you for letting me drag you to sonic all the time with me. Thank you for pointing me to Jesus when it gets hard. This year without you in the sorority house is so different, and it has made me realize how much I love you. I am really happy that I have a big that makes weird faces at me and white girl dances with me. I am really happy that I have a big that feels out of place at parties with me. I am really happy that you are the person that I get to call my Big for all the years to come, and definitely, have by my side when I get married one day. The only reason I am prepared to be a big is because I have learned from the best. I hope I can be half the big you are. I can’t wait for so many more years of memories with our cute little family. I know I will continue to learn so much from you and I can’t wait to see what is to come. I love you so much Big. Thank you for being one of the biggest blessings I could have ever been given.

Love,

Little

P.S. NOODLES!

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
