BIGGIE: Allan Wong, Alumni (‘19), Bioengineering
smalls: Lance Barcelona, 5th Year (‘20), Computer Engineering Family: Lineage -- Describe your relationship with your BIGGIE/smalls! A: My smalls has the best heart and is always down to chill, hangout, and just be goofballs together at our apartments. We've made so many memories throughout my time at Northeastern and the best part is that we can always be ourselves around each other. Even after rare periods of not seeing each other for a while, the amazing thing is that we can easily pick up where we left off and I think that's something really special. L: My BIGGIE has got to be the biggest supporter of everything I do. He is always there when I need him and even though he graduated and is back in his home state, he still manages to find ways to cheer me on in whatever it is I am doing. -- What’s something you’ve learned from your BIGGIE/smalls? A: My smalls is always so positive and crazy wise for his age. On top of knowing a ton about bikes, he has this amazing gift of knowing exactly what to say and can turn any negative thoughts around. I've always been independent and have relied on me, myself, and I to get through the rough times, but having someone like Lance in my life really helped me realize that it's okay to be vulnerable and have the support of other people as well. L: From him, I learned that hard work and determination can get you everything you want! When I watch him do everything that he does, whether it's on the stage or in his professional life, he seems like he can take on anything! -- What’s one of your favorite moments with your BIGGIE/smalls? A: Going on Spring Break together not once, but TWICE in Cancun, Mexico and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic was amazing. One memory I'll never forget was when Lance and I were edged out of our plane departing to Cancun due to overbooking. We took the L for a small reimbursement and had to take a later flight with a layover in Atlanta. We had plenty of BIGGIEsmalls bonding time during our travels and eventually were reunited with the rest of our friends! L: One of my favorite moments with my BIGGIE has got to be the day that he picked me up as a smalls. Right after the reveal we got to celebrate his birthday through dinner with friends and some late night shenanigans. It was the first time I felt at home at Northeastern and things just got even better from then on.
