My Dearest Big (Slash Best Friend Slash Biggest Fan),
I remember meeting you on Bid Day and instantly thinking that everything about you was perfect. You're hilarious and outgoing, caring and compassionate and always seem to have the perfect going out outfit and hair. You were one of my first impressions of being in a sorority and what a lasting impression it was.
Whenever I hung out with you or talked to you about absolutely anything, it was like you totally understood. You got my stupid jokes, and we can bond over the same Netflix shows, we can share music with each other, and just lounge around and do nothing together. When Big/Little Reveal week came around, I grew anxious reading all the clues and was so excited when I finally found out that I got to be your little. I had been going around, telling everyone how much I was hoping that it would be you, and later on, everyone told me you had been gushing about me the entire week. It was crazy how much it seemed that we already knew each other in such a short period of time, and even crazier how much closer we've gotten now.
I get excited whenever someone tells me that we're the perfect pair or that they swear that they can actually see some kind of resemblance between us two. I know you wil always lend a hand when I need it, whether it's borrowing clothes for a date event, helping me cram for an exam or listening to me vent about boy troubles, you always know what to do or say to make me feel better or help me out. I know that if people think I'm anything like you, I must be doing something right.
I know there are some people who think that “big" and “little" are just arbitrary titles, but I know it's so much more than that. Having you as my big made a big campus feel smaller, a sorority feel homier and my first year of college a little bit easier. You've been my college mom: helping me whenever I'm sick, cheering me up whenever I'm sad, making sure I get home safe whenever I go out and find any way to be a role model to me.
I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am, for absolutely everything. Thank you for all of our midnight talk sessions, and the sweets you send me when I have a bad day, all of the jokes you crack at my expense (hopefully they're loving) and the advice you give me on absolutely anything and everything I ever worry or stress about. Although I'm sure all of this sounds cheesy and cliché, you're the best friend I could ever ask for and the older sister I've always wanted. Thank you for being one of my closest friends, my biggest fan, my honorary therapist, the coolest person I know and simultaneously my favorite dork. I love you so much.
Your Forever Grateful Little
