Tell your Big/Little more about yourself (favorite hobbies, music, TV shows, career)

I spend my free time binge watching comedy TV (Seinfeld, Modern Family, BBT, etc.), occasionally reading, and gardening. I have a decently varied music interest but I really like beetles (especially beetles guitar instrumentals), Laufey, some Sinatra/other older music. I absolutely love nature and hiking, movies, and just going places/playing games and sports during the weekend.

What are you looking for in a Big/Little?

I'd love to have a big that matches my energy, is fun and supportive to be with, and can serve as a mentor for me to navigate UCI. A chill person you always feel great after hanging out with, or can just hit up casually.

Tell your Big/Little more about yourself (favorite hobbies, music, TV shows, career)

Hiii, I am from the IE, specifically Jurupa Valley and I am a bio sci major whose on the pre-med track :(. I really like shopping, traveling, and baking. I LOVE to bake so you can catch me bringing sweet treats to my friends whenever I get to. I also like watching terrible reality TV, especially from Netflix like too hot to handle, perfect match, love is blind, etc. I'm also down to do anything like any side quest I am up for it. I am a little introverted at first, but I swear I open up when I get comfortable with people and get to know them more.

What are you looking for in a Big/Little?

I am looking for a Big whose easy going and someone I can laugh with. I'm really looking forward to have a friend to hang out with and just having a good time. I'm also hoping to get advice on what classes I should and shouldn't take, and which professors to avoid.

Tell your Big/Little more about yourself (favorite hobbies, music, TV shows, career)

Bello :D! My name if Tiffany and I am a 2nd year Biosci major. I would say that I am very good with matching energy levels with others, as I can be both extroverted and introverted depending on who I am around. So if you are a little shy or more energetic, no need to worry because I can match your vibe :D. My favorite hobbies include hiking, trying new foods/drinks, and making crafts. I often find myself studying with a cute little drink or somewhere with a nice view. My music taste depends on my mood teehee. I listen to a lot of mainstream artists, like Frank Ocean, Kali Uchis, and PinkPantheress. But I also listen to retro soul, like Thee Sacred Souls (I love my old timey music). Some shows/movies I really like are Severance, JJBA, and old Disney movies. In the future, I hope to someday be a pediatric nurse or a PA, specializing in pediatrics! By doing so, I hope to bring some more spark and love into the lives of others.

What are you looking for in a Big/Little?

I am looking for a little who is enthusiastic and wants to get more involved in H4H! I hope that I can be a figure for my little to come to for advice, whether that be club, school, or life related things. I want to create a safe space for my little so that they feel comfortable and welcome. I look forward to having a good friendship with my little, one where we feel like we can come to each other in times of need or just to hang out! I hope to find a little who can match my silliness as well. Though I also welcome any littles who want to keep vibes more chill! In the end, I hope to be a Big that my little can rely on and to have a good time with :)).
