I hope you wish to become bigger than you are but that you always remember where you started.

A Letter To My Future Little
Elizabeth Hurdle

Hello,

This is a letter to my future little(s) however many of you there may be. I’m writing this because I have so many things I want to say to you that I might not be able to say later. In the words of Flannery O’Connor "I write because I don't know what I think until I read what I say.” These are all the things I really want you to know, but unfortunately, I’ll probably forget to say when they’re most important. This is for you.

It’s nice to meet you. Actually, I hope we’ve already met before this, but if not, it’s really nice to meet you. How are you? I hope you’re doing well. I’m excited to be your big. I’m excited to get to know you. I’m excited to show you through our sisterhood. I’m excited to share something so important to me with you.

I hope that you’re nice but more importantly, I hope that you are kind. I hope you have a loving heart and feel everything to the fullest extent. I hope you care about more than just yourself and share a genuine connection with the people around you. I hope you wish to become bigger than you are but that you always remember where you started. I hope you long to reach for the stars but to also be careful not to fall. I hope you are passionate about something even if it’s not something I’m passionate about. I really hope you care about school and learning because those things are important. I hope you have good taste in movies, but if you don’t, I can help change that (books too). I hope that you’re as proud to be my little as much as I am to be your big.

I want so many things for you. I want your life to be filled with nothing but joy. I want you to wake up every morning remembering that you’re loved and that it’s going to be okay. I want you to feel at home here and never feel like you’re alone. I want you to be able to come to me with anything. I want you to trust me, but more importantly, trust yourself. I want you to reach for your dreams but not feel the need to crush others on your way to the top. I hope you get everything you want out of life and more.

I’m writing this because I want you to know how much you being my little means to me. I want you to know how much I care because I care a heck of a lot. I want you to know that I’ll always be there when you need me. I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re sad and the person to pick you up when you fall. I’ll be there in your happiness moments and in your saddest. I’ll do whatever I can to support you and to lift you up. I promise to be the best that I can, and I hope you’ll give that same promise to me. I just want you to remember to never feel like you can’t reach out to me. I’m always here, and I can’t wait to be your big.

Until we officially meet little one(s),

Your future big.

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.
