Describe your relationship with your BIGGIE/smalls: Noah and Iris are like siblings to me! They are some of my favorite people to hangout with and I feel like I can talk to them about anything! I knew I wanted to pick up Iris last year when we went to a dance workshop together and saw her courage for trying new things. From dance to resume stuff, I love helping Iris and helping her build her college career. I am so proud of what she’s done and how outgoing she has become. I picked up Noah fall semester of 2022 and I am so happy I did! I first talked to Noah after the BKD Halloween party, but we got to really know each other during Kamayan and dance4me. He's a pre-med beast and I am so proud of him constantly exploring new cultures and pursuing what is best for him. I am graduating this semester and feeling burnt out, but Iris and Noah inspire me to stay active and get out of the house. I know that we are going to be in contact forever and it fills me with joy to see them grow and build their own lives. What's something you've learned from your BIGGIE/smalls?: I learned how to be a mentor, how to reach out to people, and how to build a community from my smalls. What's your favorite memory with your BIGGIE/smalls?: My favorite memory with Iris and Noah was talking late at night on a roof top in NYC. We were all sharing an air mattress in the living room of BKD legend Esme and none of us could sleep. At around 3 am we went to the rooftop to hangout and see the view. I remember it being super cold outside but we ended up staying outside for an hour because the company and view was so nice Name: iris liu Major (+Minor): business admin. and design combined major; concentrations in marketing and interaction design Fam: beast farm Describe your relationship with your BIGGIE/smalls: raph is the older brother that I’ve never had. when i first met raph, it was actually pretty difficult for me to imagine what it’d be like to have him as my big. he was a total extrovert and not afraid to be himself around anybody. I came into college being the exact opposite. However, the more I spent time with him, the more grateful I was to be his smols. Raph has taught me so much and because of him, I’ve felt so much personal growth since freshman year. He has seen me go through my highs and lows and I can say that he has honestly been my biggest support system in college. i don’t always make the best decisions and I stress over anything and everything. sometimes I wonder how he has so much patience to put up with my dramatic and stressful persona. I really appreciate how Raph is always looking out for me; even when i'm not feeling the best, he always knows what to say and do to make me feel better. I admire how dedicated he is to his biggie role despite having busy schedules. I can definitely to say that i have the best biggie out there and that i aspire to one day be like the old and free soul that he is. What's something you've learned from your BIGGIE/smalls?: there is so much that i've learned from raph that is worth mentioning, but the one that's been helping me get through college is to always go for the things I really want so i won't regret it later on. he's also taught me to not let other people’s opinions inhibit me from giving my all and being myself. i've taken these points to heart,, and i've noticed that i've definitely gained some self-confidence due to his undying support and encouragement. What's your favorite memory with your BIGGIE/smalls?: There were a lot of memorable memories i've had with raph over the past couple of semesters so its difficult to just pick one. I always have the best time when im with my biggie; for one, he is always making me try new things such as cooking. for example, he’s taught me how to cut spam the correct way, how to cook pasta, and how to brown meat on a stove! Other favorite memories include being his Barkada dance partner, seeing him shine at his performances and cyphers, teaching me how to freestyle, and everything else dance related. Because of his constant support and encouragement, I wouldn’t be where I am at with my passion for dance.
