BIGGIE: Shawn Robin, 4th year, Computer Science Major smalls: Katrina Gonzales, 2nd year, Business Administration Major (w/Concentration in Marketing Analytics) Fam: Lineage >Describe your relationship with your BIGGIE/smalls!<
SR: katrina and i have such a great relationship and our biggiesmalls relationship is unparalleled. she’s one of my best friends and it is always such a great time with her. she’s absolutely hilarious and anytime with her always involves lots of laughing. we are also pretty similar in several ways but probably none bigger than our competitive spirit. our shared drive to always want to win and be the best is unmatched and i love that about her. whether its a game night, wandering on newbury, or just laughing at each other, i am consistently convinced i have the best smalls. KG: when i tell people me and shawn’s BIGGIEsmalls origin story, i always use the words “instant click.” sure, there may be moments when he makes one too many dad jokes and wears zip up vests with brown outdated loafers, but i truly wouldn’t wanna be anyone else’s smalls. i first met shawn online last year and did not give two poops about him, but when we grabbed bangkok pinto last spring during eboard shadowing, it was like we were already two peas in a pod! shawn fits my definition of a perfect BIGGIE - i can go to him when i want to laugh, vent, gossip 😅, send my outfit options, play games, and get personal + professional advice. he’s the first person i look for at party and the last person i’d go to if i wanna get pizza (his love for hawaiian pizza is a big no no). he’s become one of the most iconic people i’ve met in college, and i know that we’ll be lifelong friends. >What's something you've learned from your BIGGIE/smalls?< SR: don’t use the laughing emoji. KG: there are a multitude of things i’ve learned from shawn (surprisingly). he’s taught me to truly get the most out of not only my time in college but also life. he really inspires me to just have fun, to surround myself with people who make me laugh, to travel, to work hard in school, to be more generous (i’m a bit stingy 😅) and to work hard and play hard. shawn has also given me a better mirror to look at myself through - his confidence in himself makes me more confident, even if he’s sometimes cringy. >What's your favorite memory with your BIGGIE/smalls?< SR: too many to choose just one but some highlights include reveal, going to rhode island, both BK days, and all the countless nights in 748 :) KG: my favorite memory with shawn is writing our portion of the 2021 BK script. we wrote a short skit for maglalatik, and i remember us spending so much time at curry just trying to pop out as many jokes as we could. i think that’s my favorite memory because i had the best kind of laugh where your stomach begins to hurt. it also reminds me of how similar shawn and i are and that we’re always on the same ~wavelength~ another favorite memory is just all of our 748 nights jumbled into one. it’s all pretty much a blur now, but they’re the best nights i’ve spent in college so far.
