I Was Terrified To Get A Big

A thank you letter to my Big

I Was Terrified To Get A Big
Elizabeth Hurdle

Dear Big.

I never told you this but I was terrified for big/little reveal. My friends were excited about it. They liked to guess who their big might be, but I didn't. I was nervous that I would get a big who didn't understand me. A big who wouldn't want a junior as a little. A big who didn't really care anything about having a little at all.

Instead, I got you.

When I found out that I had a twin, I cried. Not because I didn't like my twin but because I have a real life twin. I've always been forced to share things with my twin just because we were twins. I didn't want to have to share a big with anyone. I found out that my twin already knew my big which made me even more upset. I thought that I would be left out because my big and twin were already close.

Instead, I got a family

On big/little reveal day, I stood there awkwardly as my twin ran and hugged you. I didn't know what to do, but you immediately came over and hugged me. All of you made me feel welcomed into the FAM even though I had never met any of you before. I never told you how much that meant to me. I never told you how much everything y'all have done for me means to me.

Bigyy

You have listened to me rant when I'm upset about something for hours. You have taken me to Subway many times after chapter because you know how much I love it. You have seen me at my best and my worst. You give me a hug every time you see me even though you know I don’t like being touched; I want to thank you for that. You are always on my side even when you think I am wrong, and you immediately dislike anyone who is rude or mean to me. We both have really busy schedules, but I know if I called you crying at midnight you would let me come over and talk to me until I felt better. You would probably bake me cookies and let me hug your dog. There are a lot of people who could have been my big, but I truly believe that no one could have been a better big for me than you.

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.
