After becoming a member of Alpha Delta Pi, I was given what we call Big Diamonds.

I never in a million years would have expected my big diamond sister to become one of my very best friends.

The time leading up to big/little reveal was suspenseful, and even filled with drama. I was worried that I would get someone I didn't know, and possibly someone who would be disappointed to have me as their little because they were hoping that it would be someone else. I am relieved to say that my pairing with Katelyn is one of the best things that ADPi has given me.

We bonded instantly over a love of chinchillas. Our goal is to always be insanely emotional to make the other cry her eyes out. She randomly buys me food, and I buy it right back for her another day. She and her roommates have even provided me with my own toothbrush at their house because I am constantly there. In the span of days she turned into my person. Katelyn, and the rest of #Slayfam have turned into my actual family while I am in college.

I have never met a more selfless person, than my big. Her heart grows each day, and constantly inspires me to be a better person. Her childhood consisted of many struggles that are rare for people her age to have dealt with, but it has made her so strong. No one will ever brighten your day like my big does. She is widely loved, and loves widely.

She is always down to go get food, and she has learned to love me for my McDonald's and Chrsitmas addictions even if it isn't her favorite (She has a special Christmas Tree ice tray in her freezer just for me). She always lets me drive her car, and continues to let me even after I lock her out of it, and pretend to drive away. She lets me stay the night with her any night that I request, even when I turn into a cuddler when I'm tired and hog the bed once I fall asleep. She has shown me endless amounts of love. I will never be able to thank her enough for that.

I never imagined that when she popped out of a box at me, that I would have gained a lifelong best friend. Words will never be able to describe how Katelyn has impacted me.
