Dear Big: I Miss You

Like, for real.

Dear Big: I Miss You
Jenn Little

About a year ago, you lost your big to the real world. You told me it was a scary thing and that one day I would know that feeling. To be perfectly honest, it is not until the first day of school when I walked into the house, instinctively went upstairs towards your room, and then had to remind myself you weren't there that I realized how true that actually was.

You were one of the first people I really connected with when I got to this school. As soon as I met you I knew I wanted you to be my big. I guess it would be extremely cliche to say that you were a major part of the reason I love the sorority and why I fell in love during recruitment. But that's okay since it also happens to be 110 percent true.


Incase I haven't said it enough, thank you for always being my voice of reason. For looking out for me and protecting me. You'll never know how grateful I am that I have a big with your kind heart, head strong personality, and great intentions behind everything you do. You are the big sister I always wanted and I can't believe you won't be here to (sometimes literally) pick me up off the ground when life (and liquor) just become too much. Who else is going to make sure random guys don't pass out on top of me(which has totally happened)? Or bitch out guys who were mean to me? Or go on food adventures with me?

Thank you for handling the disaster that was me during the new member process. And then doing your best to avert every crisis after that. You have taught me so much this past year including the fact that it is so important to be the best big you can be. I hope to be as good of a big to my little as you are to me.

I'm so blessed to have met someone as perfect as you and I can't wait to see where life will bring you next. I love hearing about your big girl job and apartment in the city. I always get excited at the snap chats of your Friday and Saturday nights. It makes me happy that you are having fun and getting along just fine without the bars and frat parties. I can't wait to see you again and I hope you know that you will always be my big sis no matter where life takes us and you will always have a home (and a couch to crash on) wherever I am.

Love always,

Your little munchkin

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.
