An Open Letter To My Big

You're the best Big I could ever ask for.

An Open Letter To My Big
Breanna Sahr

Dear Big,

First things first, I want to say thank you. Thank you for answering all my questions during rush week, no matter how crazy they were. Thank you for comforting me when I am having a bad day, for reassuring me and always looking out for me. Thank you for making me laugh through the tears and always letting me know that you are there for me no matter what. Thank you for being you, my hilarious, beautiful, political science nerd of a big who never wants to hear any scary stories but is always down for some ice cream even when it is really cold outside.

The week leading to the Big-Little reveal was probably one of the longest of my entire life. I've never been given so many random gifts before and each day was a new revealing detail that told me absolutely nothing of who you were (or maybe I'm just bad at guessing)! Even though I had no idea that it was you who had given me all the gifts, you came to ask me what I had been given every day as if you had no clue who my Big was. Finally, when you were revealed to be my Big, I had to hold myself back from jumping into your arms because I was so excited and overjoyed that it was you.

Though you haven't been my Big for a long time, and we met each other over a year ago when we were both confused first-year students trying to navigate college, it sure seems like we've been a part of the same family for years. You and I definitely were a one-to-one match and I am so proud to be your Little.

Being in a sorority has helped me grow as a person. You have been with me from the very first day of rush, encouraging me and always lending a listening ear and something funny to say that will make me laugh (it's true, I think you're hilarious!).

So, even though you always manage to make me jump with fright no matter what time of day you knock on my door, you always end up saying exactly the right thing and I wouldn't choose any other Big in the world but you. You're the best Big I could ever ask for.

Thank you for being you.

Love,

Your Little

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
