I am so thankful to have you in my life.

An Open Letter To The Best Big
Rayna Larson

To the best Big,

We were talking earlier this week while I was trying to think about article ideas, you said, “You should write about me.” I bet you didn’t think I actually would, but I’ve been thinking about writing a letter to you for a while now. We haven’t known each other that long; it’s only been a few months, but it feels like it’s been forever.

I love everything you do for me.

The week leading up to Big/Little Reveal was so much fun. Getting spoiled by all of the gifts and sweets you were sending to my dorm was absolutely amazing. I was bragging about you to my roommates every day, and I didn’t even know who you were yet. Every day, I would tell them who I thought you were based on the clues you gave me, but I never got it right. Looking back, I can't believe that I didn't figure it out.

I love how close we are.

The night of Reveal was absolutely crazy. It went by so fast. I remember standing upstairs with the other new members as each of us came down, one by one. It went by so slow and so fast at the same time. I was so scared that you wouldn’t like me after we got to know each other. That was ridiculous.

I know some bigs and littles aren’t very close after the excitement wears off, and I was worried that would happen to us after a little while. I am so happy to say it didn’t. We can go days without actually talking, but it doesn’t make a difference. Whenever we are back together, it’s almost like no time has passed.

I love hanging out with your roommates and friends.

Whenever my dorm gets too crazy, I can come over to your apartment and hang out with you and your roommates. We don't even have to be doing anything. I feel like I fit right in with everyone else. Whenever we go places with your friends, you just introduce me as your little, and everyone accepts me instantly. Your friends are absolutely crazy and wonderful, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

You will always be one of the most important people in my life.

I know that you’re going to graduate at some point, probably sooner rather than later. Honestly, I’m dreading that day. I don’t want you to leave me. Don’t get me wrong, I want you to go on and succeed and do great things in your career, but I don't ever want my time here with you to end. You're making my time at Central Michigan University the best it can be. Thank you for everything.

I am so thankful to have you in my life. You inspire me to be the absolute best I can be. Hopefully, when I take a little, I’ll be half as good at being a big as you are.

Love you always,

Your Little <3

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
