An Open Letter to My Big During Her Senior Year

Losing my big is like losing my other half.

An Open Letter to My Big During Her Senior Year
Samantha Palmieri

Big,

Where do I even begin? Every time I think about the fact that you will be graduating this year makes me so emotional. I am in denial and will not come to terms with you graduating, even though I probably should. I am going to be a hot mess at graduation and will probably need more tissues than your family.

I know this is horrible but I am secretly hoping you fail all your classes this semester and are unable to graduate on time. Meeting you was probably the most amazing thing college has given me, besides my education. I want to thank you for being my biggest support system while I am away from home. Without you, I probably would have had so many mental breakdowns by now.

You are such an inspiration to me. You are involved in a million things, stay on top of school, and still have time for your friends. You are a genuine person who is dependable and trustworthy. I know that if I am struggling with someone or something I can come to you and know you will help me feel better.

Either that or you threaten to "take care" of the situation The same goes for all your other friends who are in need. I always knew I wanted to rush a sorority but I never thought I would find a best friend. I know we aren't attached at the hip, I don't think either of us would want that, but I know whenever I need you, you're only one text, call or walk away.

It is going to be so weird not having you on campus anymore. I am losing one of the most important people on campus that I have. I am so afraid that you are going to move back home and I am going to end up seeing you once a semester if I'm lucky. That is not okay! I need our lunch dates, dinner dates, gym dates and library dates.

I know I am not the most perfect little like I think I am. I know we disagree on things and have several differences but I still consider you my best friend and older sister. You look out for me, protect me and care for me. I have never had such a strong relationship/bond with anyone else, nor would I want it with anyone else.

I honestly believe you are one of the greatest people I have met in my life and I am sort of obsessed with you, even though I call you names. I am so proud of everything you have accomplished in your college career and the obstacles you have faced to get here.Thank your for being my best friend and my rock.

Please know that I will always be here for you no matter how many miles apart we are. I love you. Congratulations on graduation and being the best Big ever! You will forever be the Brooke to my Peyton.

Love,

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.
