5 Ways to Show Your Big Some Appreciation

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Davidson chapter.

So Big/Little Week happened!

And now it’s over…

But still, you have a new built-in bestie…

Who happened to spend a lot of time, money, and creative juices on gifts for you.

It’s high time we show our bigs our appreciation for loving us:

with BIG APPRECIATION DAY!

If there’s anyone we’d all want to teach us how to appreciate our big, it is the ultimate sorority (or eating house if she went to Davidson) girl, Elle Woods. Some tips for the day: 

1. Get real cute and go to a party together, or throw your big one!

2. Have a family movie night.  Must haves: cuties in movies and a lot of chocolate.

3. Make her a care package to help her recuperate from Big/Little week.

4. List all of the reasons you love her, and then shout her name from the rooftops (bonus points for actually shouting it from a rooftop).

5. Have a girls’ night in.  Drink your drank from Big/Little week and do each other’s nails and gossip, or have deep conversation (or use legal jargon in your every day gossip).

You also may want to paint a family cooler, get some adorable matching t-shirts (or hair bows, or anything else, really), take her out to dinner…the options are endless to show her that you love her just as much as she loves you.  Celebrate your new best friend, and y’all’s friendship.

A little obsessive about food blogs, books, Netflix, running, and obviously sleeping. It's not what you do, I say, but how you do it.
