11 Stages You Go Through Before Big-Little Week

As Big-Little week is coming in a week (at least for my chapter), I thought I should write about the stages you go through while preparing yourself to welcome the little(s) one(s) into the family. It is no secret that along with recruitment week and initiation week, big-little reveal week is also one of the most important weeks in sorority life. I call this week: Greek Christmas because it is like Christmas but know you are playing the role of Santa Claus and at the end of the week you will get an addition to the family tree. It is true that during this week it is just Christmas for the new ladies in the sorority but being a Big has its advantages. However, if you want to read what I think is good of being a Big you can read my past article because today I write to tell you what the bigs think about during this week.

1. When you start meeting the new members, you want to take them all as your littles.

"They are all cute and innocent, I want to take all 107 of them but I'm broke! Also, it is not allowed"

2. You realize that you don't have time to craft.

Do you remember when over the summer you decided you had too much time to craft and didn't do it? Well, I bet you regret that now.

3. When you go to the store to get material you want it all.

Except that afterward,you realize that you are a college student and you are broke. So, you can't just buy everything you see at Michael's.

4. Pinterest is your partner in crime

5. You have paint everywhere

Even the house of the guy I refuse to recognize I'm dating is full of craft and paint stains but both of you are used to it

6. You watch more Netflix than ever before.

Netflix and chill? more like Netflix and craft my life away but okay.

7. You think about twittles

But it is so expensive...

8. It's time to turn in your list

9. You start thinking that your little hates you

10. You think nothing is enough for her.

I want to buy everything for her but I don't have money

11. When Big-Little week is here, you freak out.


However, at the end of the day is all worth it because the new addition to the family is the most amazing you could have ever found!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
