An Open Letter To The Best Big

Forever thankful for our special bond.

An Open Letter To The Best Big
Sydney Eisenberg

As spring rush for a lot of schools is approaching after winter break, I thought I'd spread some love and show some big appreciation. My big has become someone who has influenced me in so many ways while only knowing each other since August. So biggie, Surprise!! This one's for you!!


Dear Big,

Little did I know that four months ago, I would meet my best friend and fellow sister. When I got off the bus on bid day and saw you holding my name on a sign, I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. From that moment on, we got to know each other more and I knew that you were going to be one of my best friends regardless if you were my big. We connected instantly and I'm so lucky that my bid day buddy became not only my big, but my at school mom and one of the most influential people in my life.

Growing up, I never had an older sister. I considered (and still do) some of my closest friends to be sister like figures, but I never had someone that acted just as an older sister would. You're the big sister that every girl wishes to have. I appreciate you more than you know. Thanks for the endless advice with school, boys, friends, and everything in between, for the dinner dates, and for spoiling me during big/little week. I'm so grateful for the things you've done for me and for the things that are to come.

I can easily say that you're my partner in crime. Although we don't spend every waking moment together, I know you'd be there at any hour of the day to help me with something or just to talk about how our days went. It's unbelievable that for the amount of time we've known each other, we have already made a bunch of amazing memories.

I think that having an unbreakable bond with your big is remarkable and is something that will last forever. I'm so comfortable around you and I know that you love me for me and nothing else. Explaining the special bond between big and little to someone who isn't involved in Greek life can be rather difficult. I'm lucky enough to make explaining our relationship easy. You're truly one of a kind and I can't express it enough but I'm so thankful to have someone as amazing as you.

Thank you for always keeping my best interest at heart, looking out for me no matter where we are, never judging me (especially with my artistic skills), and for being the best big in the game. You help keep me sane in moments of doubt and stress and I couldn't thank you enough for that as well.

I may not say it enough, but I'm beyond grateful to know someone like you and to have you as my big. I love you to the moon and back!!

XOXO,

The Luckiest 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.
