A Letter To My Little

I can't wait for all the memories ahead of us

A Letter To My Little
Alison Houghton

To my new little one:


I'm so excited to call you my little. I've so been looking forward to becoming a big since the day I got my big sister two years ago. Right after our very first conversation I knew you would be the perfect little for me. In my time in our sorority I've had some ups and some downs, but the best moment by far was when I found out I would become your big.

Since the moment I got my big sister, I could not wait to get a little of my own. After running into her arms on big/little night, I was so excited to have this experience from the other side. From first time I met my big, I immediately began to admire her. I still aspire to be only half the person she is. In college she had an exec board position in not just our sorority but in other clubs on campus. She had straight A's and was in several honor societies. My big is my role model, and I knew I wanted to have someone, someday, that looked up to me the way I looked up to her.

When I first found out I was going to be your big, I literally jumped for joy. I couldn't wait to introduce you to the rest of our greek family, show you our traditions, and share memories with you. The thought of spending all my time and money crafting in the few days leading up to big/little reveal didn't scare me, or stress me out, it excited me. When big/little night finally came, I was so thrilled to finally reveal myself as your big. Although we've only been big and little for a few weeks now, words can't begin to describe how excited I am for all of the memories we are going to make.

I'm excited for the Netflix and Take-out nights ahead of us. I'm excited for the birthdays we will celebrate together. I'm excited for the inside jokes we are going to have. I'm excited for all the date nights and formals we will attend together. I'm excited to give you advice about whatever you need. Mostly, I am excited to see you grow in our sisterhood.

Little, know that I will always be here for you no matter what. Know that I will always be down to eat pizza with you in the middle of the night. Know that I will always be ready to go on a mall trip with you - even if I'm broke. Know that I am always just a text or phone call away - no matter what.


I can't wait for what is ahead of us, because I know it will be amazing!


Love,

Big

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
