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!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
