We’ve all been there. Those days when you’re pretty sure you failed a test, lunch is looking pretty mysterious, he didn’t say hi back, and your workload is kicking your tush. It’s only Tuesday, and all you want to do is snuggle but everyone is busy except, it seems, for those determined people using Yik Yak to orchestrate “platonic cuddling.” Great. But wait, you say to yourself, I’m sure my big is free (spoiler alert: she’s not, but she loves you enough to invite you over anyways)! Would a boyfriend do that? Not usually. Is your big better than a boyfriend? Always. Undisputedly. Need more convincing? Here’s why:
1. She won’t be scared away by your weird or crazy tendencies.
2. She will answer any questions you have about, well, everything.
3. You can force her to hang out with you when everyone else is busy.
4. And she’s always down for whatever.
5. She’s especially fun down the hill.
6. Where she starts off giving advice like this:

8. You can always let your freak flag fly around her.
9. Because this is your life post-Big/Little reveal.
10. And she knows what will make you feel better when you are down.
11. You’ve planned out the rest of your lives together.
12. She knows your deepest darkest secrets.
13. You go on dates very often.
14. You even kiss sometimes.
15. If you are apart for more than an hour, you look like this:
16. But you’re all better once you reunite.
17. And at the end of the day, she is the Serena to your Blair, the Cece to your Jess, the SpongeBob to your Patrick, and the Big to your Little, so of course you are madly in love with her!
Big shoutout to my bigs (heck yeah that’s plural), Antonia and Lauren, you guys are the best!
