A Thank You Letter To My Big

Dear Big,

When I was first introduced to the idea of having a big, I was completely freaked out. I've always been the big sister in my family and I didn't know how I would feel about this, but, as we grew closer, I knew that we were the perfect match. We instantly had a bond from the first time that we met and that bond just strengthened over time.

I knew that I didn't just pick the right Greek family, but that I also chose the most perfect big. Of course, things were a little awkward at first. Were you supposed to be my best friend, mentor, big sister, family, or to just hold the title of "Big?" We quickly realized that you were (and still are) all of those things to me.

You have been there for me through the scary, heartbreaking, happy, emotional, stressful, and even the exciting times that college throws at us. I often take our friendship for granted and I am so sorry. I know that I don't say this often enough, but thank you.

Thank you so much for everything. I truly appreciate the inspirational person that you are. I look up to you and strive to be at least half of the woman that you are. You have become an amazing role model, mentor, big sister and best friend all wrapped up into one.

You deal with my daily sass, moodiness, wild personality, and even my stubbornness. You are my family and my go-to person. I thank you so much for knowing exactly what I'm thinking by just looking at my facial expressions. I thank you for being my motivation and for understanding me as a person. You have helped me develop into an exceptional sorority woman and I am forever grateful. You are the down-to-earth, academic focused personality that I need to balance out my wild, outgoing self.

I honestly appreciate you being my shoulder to cry on, letting me rant about pointless things, listening to my ridiculous ideas, being my constant support system, and for always standing by my side. You are my big, my family, and my person. I will forever cherish you as a person and for the friendship that we have. I thank you for the countless adventures and laughs.

Without you by my side, I have no idea where I would be. I know that I am a little crazy, wild, and very unpredictable, which is why you're basically a superhero for loving me as me, but I appreciate you. You're the best and I love you!

Thank you and much 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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
