An Open Letter To My Big

Dear Big, 

Where do I even begin?

It’s crazy to think that as you are reading this letter, you are sitting in a different time zone and there’s a great, big ocean in between us. I can honestly say that I took all that time for granted, when you were right down the road from me. I’ve learned the hard way the true meaning of the old saying, “you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone." Now, I miss you terribly.      

Morgan, I have looked up to you since the day we met and am so lucky to be able to call you my Big. I could not be more proud of you for going after a dream and living out an adventure that most people our age could only dream of.     

I’m sorry I was such a nightmare to craft with, but I’m also sorry we didn’t craft together more. I’m sorry that the guy who did piercings wasn’t working the night of initiation, when we rolled up in a tattoo parlor, five girls deep, wearing formal dresses and pearls so you and Amanda could get your noses pierced. I’m even more sorry because I didn’t get to post pictures of it, which I’m sure would have gotten tons of likes.  

I’m also sorry about Formals 2013. I know you know what I mean, and I will take most of the responsibility for that. I’m sorry for never wanting to have sleepovers, and that we’ll have to wait a year for you to come home so we can finally go downtown together, but know that when you do get back, Ebony and Ivory will come out in full force for an epic trip downtown, and everybody else better watch out. 

My hopes for you are that you learn a lot this year and fall in love, whether it's with your beautiful new surroundings, your job, maybe a boy but, especially, with yourself because you are truly amazing and I don’t think you have even come close to knowing how great a person you are.  

A girl usually only gets one Big in her lifetime, so for that reason, you will always hold a very special place in my heart. While I hope you have the time of your life this year in Spain, I hope you'll always remember where home is, and that as long as I’m in Blacksburg, you’ll always have a place here to stay. 

I owe you a sleepover. 

Love, 

Your Little

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.

You can throw your responsibilities for a day, use your one skip in that class you hate, receive kind cards and gifts from loved ones and just enjoy yourself.
