Some days I check out my instagram profile and realize I have more pictures of my Big than of my boyfriend. And I’m okay with it. Ever since I joined a sorority I knew I was going to get a Big. I had some expectations of what an amazing Big I would get. Boy was I wrong.
Expectation: You and your future big have already hung out a ton and made so many memories together.
Reality: The first time you’re really meeting face to face is at Big/Little reveal.
Expectation: You and your family will hang out every single night because why wouldn’t you?
Reality: Awkwardly bumping into each other on campus every once and awhile doesn’t count.
Expectation:Your Big will be full of sage wisdom and advice.
Reality: She’s just as big of mess as you are. She may even be more of a mess.
Expectation: You and your Big will instantly click and become best friends.
Reality: It takes a while. It’s a little strange to be assigned to love someone forever, but every effort made was completely worth it.
Expectation: Your Big wanted you just as badly as you wanted her.
Reality: Other girls were higher up on your list. And you weren’t even on hers.
Expectation: Your Big will make you the most elegant of crafts. It will seem like she bought them though she totally didn’t.
Reality: She will buy all your crafts and pretend she made them herself.
Expectation: You and your Big will practically be the same person. You will love that same things and hate the same things.
Reality: You may or may not have one thing in common but that’s okay because it will push you to grow as a person.
Expectation: Your Big will drop anything to help you because you are her pride and joy.
Reality: No really she will. She will roll out of bed at 3AM to go get you Taco Bell because Little gets what Little wants.
