MB: my m&ms !!! i love them no matter how much i say the opposite in our gc ❤️ they keep me Humble ngl,, the amount of bullying targeted at me ,,, MG: Our relationship is founded on a liE! The semester I got picked up, I asked Marika if she'd applied and she straight up said no ?? and then I got picked up and guess who was my big.. But in all seriousness, my big is the most understanding person I've ever known and I feel like I can tell her aNything. Truly would've had a totally different college experience if I didn't know her. MS: the first time i held mia's cat i rapidly developed symptoms of a cold and i discovered that i am, in fact, allergic to cats. marika pulled out benadryl out of nowhere and i feel like that's a pretty good summary of what our relationship is like. on a similar note, i changed marika's name in my phone to momrika the day i got picked up and i think it's very fitting. her, mia, and i text constantly every day and marika somehow always has insightful advice to give whenever mia or i are struggling with something. she's always looking out for me and the rest of our (d)umb (c)haotic fam and i don't know what we'd do without her. >What's something you've learned from your BIGGIE/smalls?< MB: mia loves and cares so deeply about others which has taught me to be more thoughtful & kind even if it's in little ways. mika's so understanding/a great listener and has helped me realize how important it is to prioritize myself + my mental health. MG: The BIGgest thing I've learned from my BIG is to not care about what anyone thinks. MS: marika once told me about how one year she made it her goal to be more assertive, despite that being an anxiety we both share, and that's stuck with me every time i'm struggling to speak up for myself. she always encourages me to do so and it's something i really admire about her. >What's your favorite memory with your BIGGIE/smalls?< MB: lying to them both before picking them up,, i love traditions :') fr favorite memory w the both of them was apple picking!! and then going back to mia's aDORABLE kitchen after to bake apple pies (cherry on top: mika is allergic to mia's cat). also just the countless times mia and i have gotten food and sat outside and just talked, or the chaotic nights mika and i have spent baking + had brunch the next day ♡ Too Many good mems to choose from. MG: Too many to choose from !! I love going to sox games with my big, bonding over new girl, and watching marvel movies. I also Loved going apple picking with my big and twin and then staying at my house for the weekend making pies and just hanging out. So excite to keep making more mems ♡ MS: there are so many memories with marika that are important to me! the time we made frog cookies and frog donuts together and started a grease fire, the time i essentially lived at her house for a weekend and we made m&m pancakes, boba (hand-rolled!) and cookies that kept melting all over our hands all in the same day, countless brunches, apple picking with her and mia,, too many to choose from. every time i'm with her she makes me feel comfortable being myself and that, above everything else, is what makes every memory with her so special ♡
