Little, I'll Be There For You

Welcome to the family.

Little, I'll Be There For You
Becca

Hi Little,

I am so beyond ecstatic that you are my little. I couldn’t ask for a better Sister to become a part of my family. I know there are responsibilities that come hand in hand when I signed up to be your big. But it’s the best job I could ever receive. Even though it's only you and I in our family, I am so grateful you joined it. It’s small but it’s quaint, and together we can do great things. As Lilo said “Ohana means family. Family means no one gets left behind or forgotten." Little, I will never leave you or abandon you. We are here for life because we are now more than Sisters. We are family. For that little, I must thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I know that it is easy to become wrapped in my own thoughts, but I vow to always be there for you. I vow to always take the time to make sure you’re safe when we leave a place late at night. I vow to always be there when you need to call me late at night whether you are in need of assistance or a pep talk. I vow to always listen to your deep and dark thoughts as well as your inappropriate gossip. I vow to always hold back my impulses of confronting whoever hurt you so that I won’t embarrass you, no matter how much I will want to. I vow to always appreciate every little moment we have together and cherish it close to my heart. I vow to always call you when I find out something funny or exciting and I need someone to tell. I vow to always show you the ropes of what it means to be an Alpha Xi Delta and I vow to always show you a good time. ;)

Little, I know that I can be a mess at times. I sometimes break down and get stressed out. But that doesn’t mean I will ever stop being there to give you endless advice or support. I am not a perfect Big. I can’t promise I won’t ever disappoint you, but I can promise I will always try my best not to. I knew from the moment I met you that we are a good fit because you are kind hearted and wise beyond your years. I relate to that so well that I knew we were meant to be. Ever since you asked me to Karaoke the “Friends” theme song, I knew we were meant to be. Thank you for already giving me amazing memories that I often look back at and smile. When I made terrible cookies, you ate them anyways reassuring me they weren’t “that bad” only to tell me a week later that you agreed they were awful. You helped me work through my emotional breakdown of not being able to find a Semi dress and encouraged me when I did find one that I fell in love with even though it required stitching and additional work.

Little, your large heart and immense confidence is contagious and encourages me to be a better person. When my date left me during Semi, you got me through it because you were not only supportive, but made me dance with you. You are the least judgmental person that I know and that is one of the greatest attributes to have in the college society. You never fail to make me laugh at the little things in life because when I get caught up in their importance, you keep me grounded.


There’s so many things I have planned for us. I am so excited for this winter as we can watch crappy Hallmark Christmas movies and make cookies. We can go see the tree lighting and the Macy’s decorated windows. We can go shopping on Michigan Avenue and finish it off by getting Ghiradelli hot chocolate. Christmas in Chicago is such a magical time and I’m beyond ecstatic to share it with you. When it gets cold outside, I am grateful I have someone to share the warmth with. I can’t wait to karaoke with you again and laugh at ourselves afterwards because we got the words wrong or I apparently didn’t “sing into the microphone”.

You’ve given me amazing memories that I couldn’t ever thank you enough for and I am SO excited to make many more with you. When I made the Big/Little crafts I was so excited because I was making them for YOU. I put in the extra time and effort because I wanted it to be perfect for YOU. You always ask me why I ask if you’re happy. It’s because when we’re together, your happiness is my main priority. I worry about making you happy because that is all I want for you. I want you to love AXiD as much as I do. Thankfully, it seems that dream is coming true. I know it can be obsessive the amount of times that I check in on you, but I promise it comes from a place of love and dedication. Thank you for letting me annoy you with the amount of pictures I make us take, even if they are really extra poses.

Little, as your favorite sitcom infamously is know for, "I'll be there for you".

Love forever,


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.

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.
