A well deserved letter to my big

A well deserved letter to my big

Dear Big,

I don't necessarily think a typical "thank you" letter is enough to tell you how thankful I am for you. I also don't have a typical "the first time I talked to you during rush week I knew you would be my big" story. But I do know that without you, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

From the first day we got paired up to be sisters for the week, you took every single opportunity you could to get to know everything about me. Starting with the little things like asking me what my favorite color was, to my past relationships, and friendships, you wanted to know everything. (Creepy, right?) But when it was that easy to talk to someone, I never second guessed it.

Now, about favorite colors, thank the Lord I told you mine. During big/little week, (aka the best week of your life) you stayed up from sunset to sun rise every day. You made being in a sorority the best choice I think I could have made coming into college. From the perfect wall décor for my room, to the shirtless, brown haired, brown eyed guys that showed up to my house... I was beyond spoiled rotten. But the major thing you did that week was you showed me that no one else could ever compare to MY big.

You're the most selfless person I have crossed paths with. You reassure me every day that if I ever need something, you won't hesitate to get it. Especially coffee in the mornings because you know how I can barely wake up for my classes.

You also are selfless with your time. When I can't sleep because I have too much on my mind, you always answer. And I promise you guys that these 3 AM phone calls are what you will remember most. From boy problems, (of course) to family problems, or school problems.. You make them feel so easy to conquer. Even if you don't know all the answers, or if you haven't been in the situation to know how to resolve it, you listen. And you care. You never doubt me, and you make me feel like I can do anything I can put my mind to.

You are the solution to my problems, my voice of reason. If I'm sad, you'll drop everything you're doing to come watch Netflix and eat brownies with me. (Even if you don't like the brownies I made.) Or you'll be the first one to volunteer to come out with me, if it's been one of those days. You also don't mind if I accidently spill my red drink on you.... When you're wearing your new white shirt... And I know if I ever need a ride home, or an escape route out of a situation I don't want to be in, you'll be there in 5 minutes tops.

You are my forever friend. Life without you now just would never make sense again. I never could have imagined meeting someone that is identical to me in so many ways, but of course you surprise me once again. So, thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being my rock. Thank you for being my go to. Thank you for letting me know my person was out there. Thank you for seeing the absolute best in me, and worst, and still never giving up on me. Thank you for being the best big a little could have possibly dreamed of. And thank you, for being my forever friend.

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.
