A Letter To My Graduating Big

I love you, don't leave me.

A Letter To My Graduating Big
Amanda L Clarke

Dear Big,

I'll never forget the first time I met you. We bonded during recruitment, and I thought you were the greatest person ever. You were my role model since day one.

Eventually, we found out we lived close to each other and decided that we should start hanging out because of everything we had in common. I will never forget the first time we hung out was a sisterhood outing to a baseball game where we rode together and laughed the whole car ride, and the rest was history.

Finding out I was your little was an incredibly surreal experience. I was so happy to know that my sorority soulmate was you. Having you choose me to be your little out of everyone else in my pledge class means so much to me. It's an overwhelmingly, special feeling that I wouldn't trade for the world.

I'm so sad our time together in the sorority is cut short because you had to grow up and be an adult and graduate. I know everyone has to grow up and start "adulting" at some point, but I'm not quite prepared for you to leave yet. Who will make funny faces at me during a meeting if you aren't there? Who will cheer me up during the stressful times of school and then congratulate me when I've made it through? Who will go with me to Cold Stone for the thousandth time that week because we're both addicted to ice cream and I always have a coupon?

Obviously, I'll miss you and all of our fun times together. Thank you for finally making me watch "Titanic" and then Snapchatting my ugly crying reaction to the ending. Thank you for doing the horribly freezing ice bucket challenge with me (remember when that was a thing?). Thank you for 7,000 Panera visits.Thank you for fun laundry days, where instead of doing homework, we watched endless episodes of "One Tree Hill" and "How I Met Your Mother." Thank you for being you and encouraging me to be myself, and thank you for making my college years beyond amazing.

I'm so proud of everything you've done in your life, and I can't wait to see what else is in store for you. Even though you're moving out of state, I know you'll always be there. And I know you'll do great things. My biggest wish is that college was as fun for you as you've made it for me. I promise to always keep in touch and come visit even though it's far (that's how much I love you). I will forever be thankful that Kappa Delta brought you and I together, and I can't thank you enough for all the great times and memories we've had.

I love you bunches, and I'll miss you tons!

Love,

Little

Dedicated to my fabulous big Katy, who I obviously love very much. Life has great things in store for you and I can't wait to be there every step of the way.

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.
