Big/Little

This week was crazy for me. In one of my previous blogs, I talked about recruitment and after recruitment comes big/little. This is very different from the potential big standpoint.

16 new members accepted their bid for Zeta Tau Alpha two weeks ago, and now it's time for them to get bigs. Each girl gets one big and it's based off of how close you are to a girl that doesn't already have a little. Well unfortunately this year there were 16 new members and 22 potential bigs. This means six girls weren't getting littles. Big/little pairs are really important in a sorority, so it is very disheartening to not get a little.

I really thought I wasn't going to get a little and would have to wait until next year, until I met someone that I connected with on a deep level. This new member has been through similar life experiences and I have never met someone that I relate to so much.  I decided this is the girl I want as my little. Because decisions are made basically on the little's side, I was freaking out even more. I wanted nothing more than for her to be my little. I couldn't sleep, couldn't focus and had many stress-out sessions with my friends.

Last night we found out if we didn't get a little or who we got if we did. This stays a secret until this Sunday when all the new members find out. I will update you next week on if I got a one or not but enjoy this picture of my amazing big from a year ago when I found out I got her for now.

Snapchat

I remember when I first downloaded Snapchat. I remember thinking "I have to look presentable every day now because people will actually see what I look like every day." For everyone that doesn't know, Snapchat is a social media app that started at just a way to communicate by sending pictures back and forth. It has now advanced into a form of social media. You can share stories, which are pictures or videos that everyone you are friends with on snapchat can see, and you can see different magazine type subscription stories. Now that I have had Snapchat for multiple years, I don't know what I would do without it. I snap my friends on a daily basis and it's basically the root of all my laugher. Now you can make snap groups, which means you can have multiple people in a group and you can send pictures to the group like normal group message, and I have so many with my friends. We send anything from drama we want to spill to TikToks in these groups and it is so much f...

Birdin' Around Town

One of my new favorite activities is Birding. I found Bird's in Atlanta, Georgia two years ago and every time I go to any city that has Birds, it is a necessity. You're probably asking what Birds are. Bird is a company that has placed motor scooters around cities to help with transportation and help with the carbon footprint. Bird has created a fun yet helpful way to get around the city. It is super easy to use as well. All you do is download the Bird app, add a credit or debit card, then you're set. When it's time to bird, you pull up the app and scan the bird you are wanting to use. Once you scan it, it will begin your ride and you can ride for as long as you want. The more you use the app, the cheaper your rides become. When you're done, you select end ride and take a picture of your scooter to prove you didn't wreck it. This concept is so smart and a great way to show how technology and social media is growing everyday. Who knew you would be able to driv...

Dream Job Became Reality

When you hear someone is a model what do you picture? A beautiful girl with flawless hair, skin, makeup? Maybe someone that's really tall and slender.  Yeah, I did too, well until I had the chance to model myself. I never in a million years would have imagined that I could have the opportunity to model for anyone at all. I am 5 feet, 5 inches tall, I weigh way more than a typical model and I have more visible muscle than most girls do, but this didn't prevent me from booking my first modeling job in 2016. I was so excited because I had traveled to shows with my mom to buy dresses for her bridal and formal store for a few years already and every time I wanted to model so bad but never thought I would get the chance. Like I said before, I did my first show in March 2016 and I have continued modeling since. I have modeled for two dress designers; Rachel Allan and House of Wu . With a job this like comes traveling, but I can't complain. I have traveled to cities like Chica...
