10 Things I Need To Thank My Bigs For, Because Two Is Better Than One And They Really Are The Best
Marlee Nickow

Before big/little reveal, I was determined to create a close bond with whoever my big would be, or in my case bigs. Now that it is long past the reveal, I can honestly say that my bigs are two of my closest friends. Honestly, I don’t know how I would deal with the ups and downs of college without them.

So, thank you both for…

1. The best big/little reveal

Me being me, I hate surprises. I kept asking people trying to find out who my big was (sorry!), but obviously I had no luck. Thank goodness I didn’t! Thank you for making the reveal so fun and surprising. It was definitely one of the best days of school thus far.

2. Being positive when I may not be

It is really easy for me to give up or not want to try in certain situations. Thank you for telling me that everything will be okay, but only if I am proactive and do something about it. You never want to see me sad, and I of course never want to see either of you sad, so that works out! You are constantly telling me the upside of a crappy situation, and that is always appreciated.

3. Hanging with me when we’re out


Thank you for always sticking by my side, even when it’s just for a couple minutes, when we are out. It’s so comforting to know that you guys are there to talk to or there if anything comes up. You both are always my go-to’s.

4. The best advice

This is a big one. Thank you so much for the endless advice that actually helps me get through the easy and hard days. No matter what it is advice about, I always know that talking to you guys will help me feel better and confident about whatever is going on. Even when you have lots of homework and studying to do, it is much appreciated that you still take time to listen to me and really help. I do not have enough thank you’s in the world, so please know how much it actually means to me. Ugh ILY.

5. Taking the best pictures with me

You guys could probably be my whole Instagram feed let's be real. We actually take the best pictures together! There could be a picture taken with hair super messy, and no trace of makeup on our faces, and it would absolutely still turn out. We are the CUTEST fam and the pictures definitely further that point.

6. Checking in with me

Thank you for taking time out of your days to ask how I am doing, or how my night was. Keeping you guys updated is super important to me of course, no matter what is happening in my life. Talking to you both and telling you fun stories is one of my favorite things!

7. The candy

Thank you for the skittles! Nuff said.

8. Comforting me when the tears come

You both 100% have been there to see the tears (if you know you know). Thank you for sitting on my bed with me and comforting me. Thank you for helping me to feel better always…I actually appreciate it more than you know. No matter where/when the tears hit, I know you both will always be there to help me get past it and make sure the next day is a much better one.

9. For being like legit moms

Thank you for always watching out for me like a mom would and helping me make right choices because college can be really hard. All while being my close friends, you are still making sure everything is good and safe on my end.

10. Being everything I wanted my bigs to be

I believe we meet everyone for a reason, and I that is definitely the case with you guys. College would really not be the same without you both in my life. Thank you for being two of my best friends. I love you guys!

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.
