Why Your Big Is The Most Amazing Person Ever

Why Your Big Is The Most Amazing Person Ever

That moment when you found out who your big was in your sorority was an exciting moment. Your big had left you many gifts leading up to her reveal. Along the way, she left you little clues as to who she was (mine specifically narrowed it down to every brunette with brown eyes out there, clearly a very rare combination). But after the long wait you finally found out who she was and the thought of her being the most amazing person, ever, just continued to grow. Here's why.

She gave you gifts.

T-shirts, food, and other treats awaited you in a nicely decorated basket from your big for doing absolutely nothing, even before you knew who she was!

She's always there for you when you need her.

Whether it's venting, what to say to a guy (hey or heyy -- the ultimate struggle), a place to sleep when you just can't make it back to your own bed, or someone to go out with when no one else will, she is always there!

She will never judge you on how crazy you are.

When the boy you are dating is in another picture with a girl and you're texting your big 20 million word paragraphs -- until you find out that girl is actually his cousin -- your big will never think you are crazy, no matter what!

She has shown you the ropes.

Friday classes? Classes before 10 a.m.? Well, those were only a thing before you met your big. Your big taught you that if you valued sleep and your social life, then those types of classes were definitely not an option.

Simply because she's her.

Your big is amazing just by being the person she is. As cliché as that may sound, there is nothing more amazing than this aspect. You would never wish for anyone else to be your big (even Beyonce), and you know you are the luckiest person to be able to call her your big. Every time you tell people that she is your big you can't help but have a big smile spread across your face.

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.
