An Open Letter To My Little

"If you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over into cold, cold water for you."

18
Caroline Russell

Little Bit,

The big/little process was terrifying. I didn't know who I'd get paired up with, and I had no idea if they'd like me. No one could have prepared me for what I was getting myself into when I decided to become a big. There's no one else I'd rather be a mentor to within our sorority. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Little, I hope you know that you're perfect. I may be your mentor, but you sure have taught me a lot in the short time I've known you. The Biebs said it best:

"You shouldn't be drowning on your own."

Little, I will always be here through every battle. I will carry you to shore when life is trying to pull you down. I'm here every step of the way.

"Although time may take us into different places I will still be patient with you."

I have no idea what I'm doing next week, let alone after graduation. We may not always be at the same school and two minutes from each other, but I will always be here. I'm only a phone call away.

"I won't let go; I'll be your lifeline tonight."

No matter what happens, I'm always here. I'll never let the waters consume you. Know you can lean on me for support through anything.

"Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know? It's how we learn and how we grow."

You came into my life at the perfect time. I may be a bit lost, but I know that you'll help me find my way out of anything. You've taught me a lot already, and, despite the fact that I'm you're mentor, your presence in my life is helping me to grow to be a better woman.

"Save me from my rocking boat. I just want to stay afloat."

Whether you know it or not, you've saved me. You steadied the rocking boat that is my life a little bit the moment you walked into my life. You've helped keep my head above water, and I hope you know I'm here to do the same. Always.

"I hope someone's gonna take me home, somewhere I can rest my soul."

You are a ray of sunshine. In the midst of the craziness, I feel calm with you. You're one of the few people that have helped make school feel like home away from home. I'm always here to take you home when you need it.

In high tide or low tide, I'll be by your side,

Biggie.

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.
