An Open Letter To My Big

I can't imagine my life without you in it.

An Open Letter To My Big
Samantha Crosier

Hi Friend,

I can't believe that just half a year ago I didn't even know who you were. Now, I can't imagine life without you. Going through recruitment and finding you in my sorority was one of the best things that could've happened to me in my first year at school. I sometimes still can't believe I was lucky enough to have you as my Big and to officially be a part of your little sorority family.

First off, I cannot believe how alike we are. Never in a million years did I ever think my Big would have the same passions, hobbies and values as I do. I was nervous about who my Big might be, even though I loved the idea of having one. I never thought that my Big would be someone that I could look to in any given situation, but you definitely proved my thoughts wrong. Big / Little reveal brought so many nerves. I was worried that we would not end up together because you had fooled me throughout the whole week. When I saw you standing in front of me at reveal, I couldn't help giving you the biggest hug; I was too happy for words.

Thank you for being there for me always. No matter what I need, whether it's the stupidest question that you've ever heard or a situation that I need help in, you are always there. Not only are you there, but you just smile at me and give me the warmest hug which makes me feel so much better. You always know just what to say and have helped me so much already.

You have always put a smile on my face, especially when I need it most. It's like you have a sense of when I need a laugh or a pick me up throughout the day. I love how we can laugh at each other when we do something silly or something that we may not necessarily be proud of. I love to hear the crazy stories from your life and I love telling you mine. It's the best to just laugh off the awkward moments and interesting times that we have.

Thanks for always including me and introducing me to your friends. You could've kept your Little and your friends separate, but you always invite me to several events you go to, which means a lot. I love spending time with you and it's always great to see you more than usual.

Thank you for listening to me complain about my professors, friends and life situations. I know I can trust you with anything and I really like having someone that I can go to about anything and know that I can trust that you'll help me. Likewise, thanks for always looking out for me. You and I both know that I can be a crazy, clumsy girl and am at times a handful, so thank you for tolerating me. Thank you for always making yourself available when I need you most.

Finally, thank you so much for being you. I can't imagine the world without my Big. It would be a cold, unfortunate place. You fill my life with so much love and sunshine and I couldn't ask for a better big in any lifetime.

I love you more than you will ever know!

Your Little (a.k.a., Smallest)

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.
