An Open Letter To My Big

Dear Biggie,

I will never be able to come up with the words to express how much you mean to me. You are my go to. Whenever anything is wrong, I know that I can come to you with it. Sorority related or not, you have always been there when it meant the most. I apologize for the too many times where I have texted you messages that seem to have no ending, and I thank you for acting like sending that long of a message is normal. I also want to apologize for the often occurring complaining, but it's just so easy to come to you with tough situations! You always find a way to give me reassurance that everything will be alright, and you never forget to remind me that you are always here for me. I hope you know that even though I am your Little, I, too, am always here for you!

I remember talking with you at one of the recruitment rounds, and I thought it was so awesome that you had just recently switched from another school to our school but were still able to be involved in our sorority. You just stood out to me, and I don't even know exactly why! Then, at preference night, I remember sitting at the kitchen table of our sorority house, eating cake pops and sipping some delicious bubbly drink. I was so nervous, but you made me feel so much more calm and welcome (not that I didn't feel welcome before that). Something was just so special about you, and I was determined to figure out what it was. Turns out, there is not figuring out what is so special about you, because there is no way to describe it. It's just you as an overall person! Your bubbly personality, your optimism, your sarcasm, everything just fits together to make you nothing short of perfect!

I want to take this moment to thank you for being someone I know that I can look up to. You have such a great work ethic, and you work so hard towards whatever you put your mind to. You are easily approachable, and you greet everyone you meet with a huge smile and a loving hug! You express such positivity towards whatever is thrown at you. There are so many people in the chapter that look up to you, and I am lucky enough to get to call that inspirational person my Big!

I was so surprised when I found out that you were my Big! After popping what seemed to be one million balloons, I was faced with having to put the tiny, paper puzzle pieces together. At that point, I had no idea who my Big was (ps, you did an amazing job hiding who you were in my clues). Lets be real, I did not put that puzzle together. I found the one tiny piece that had your name written on it, and I went running into your arms! Thank you for welcoming me in with literally open arms, and for loving me from that moment forward. Your love is so evident, and I know that I will always have you by my side!

So, thank you Maddie. Thank you for being who you are, for loving me, and for believing in me. You are such a special person, and I am so lucky to be the one that you chose.

Love,

Little

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.

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.
