BIGGIE: Katie McColgan, 4th year, Behavioral Neuroscience Major smalls #1: Chanelle Wilson, 3rd year, Health Science + Business Administration Major smalls #2: Isabel Cui, 3rd year, Environmental Science + Chemistry Major, International Affairs Minor Fam: Official Bread >Describe your relationship with your BIGGIE/smalls!<
KM: Although Biggiesmalls is a mentorship program, it’s really important to me that we are just straight up friends above all else. I really value my friendship with smalls; they are like my little sisters that I can talk about anything with! I just try my best to be a supportive biggie, and they support me right back! CW: Initially after being paired, I felt very shy to reach out to Katie because I can be socially awkward sometimes. However, Katie was really understanding of how I felt! I would say Katie and I have pretty similar personalities (ex: being the listener of the group) so it’s easier to relate to each other. She’s very kind and we try to hang out whenever we’re not busy. IC: I think sometimes I joke and call kt ‘mother’ (at least in my head) but she’s more like a cool big sister/bestie of mine. I admire her so much and we have plenty in common so I’m really glad we got paired together! even though we’re pretty busy and don’t see each other super often I’m really comfortable reaching out to her for anything and vice versa. >What's something you've learned from your BIGGIE/smalls?< KM: Something I’ve learned and am continuing to learn is how to stay connected when we are all busy with our own lives. It was really tough through COVID to keep in touch at times, especially since Chanelle lives away from campus (miss you girl!) and when Isabel and I were so busy on coop. But in the end it makes the times we do spend together all the more meaningful :) CW: Katie is an amazing person who encourages me in everything I do. She’s very caring, and I know I can reach out to her anytime. I’m glad to have been paired up with her! IC: self-love and lots of good books :) >What's your favorite memory with your BIGGIE/smalls?< KM: Fav memory with Chanelle is her finally finding all the clues during our reveal and running over to hug me! With Isabel, I loved living together over the summer and skating/picnicking on the esplanade. Here’s to more memories with the 3 of us together! CW: Talking to Katie over quarantine in 2020 especially when we face timed!! That was the first time I got to know her a lot better one on one. IC: less of a memory and more of a season lol. last summer was amazing cause me and kt were roomies!! we would both have to get up at 6 everyday for co-op but we also made lots of time for all the lovely summer things like skating and taking trips and just laying outside or something. had a blast w each other and also w all our other friends together!
