A Letter to my Big

Dear Big,

From the moment you were assigned to me as my bid day buddy I knew you were the one. You are the Christina to my Meredith, the Serena to my Blair. You are the one for me. For most girls finding their Big is a frustrating process. You don't know if they want you back or if it is okay to ask them what they are feeling. Most girls aren't as lucky as we are. The second week of school we met up after our 9 AMs and sat outside of Atkinson's Hall and decided to be Big and Little. The weeks to come were filled with breakfast dates, sleepovers and sitting upstairs talking while everyone else was getting their party on in the living room downstairs.

It's funny because they say, "When you know, you know," frequently that applies just to marriage, but honestly, I feel like it perfectly describes our situation. I feel like finding you to be my big was one of the most exciting moments of my freshman year, so far. Waiting for Big/Little Reveal and to officially be a member of your family felt like an eternity. When Big/Little finally arrived you really went above and beyond each day. From the Sunday before when you decorated my door with my face, to the excessive amounts of cookies and Reese's cups, to the lion costume you made me wear for Reveal you really out did yourself.

The day of Reveal all I could think about was going to the house, picking up my costume and running out to you and my new family members. Walking over to the house in my velvet lion costume definitely caused some people to stare on campus, but you know what at least I got to do it with my sisters. That's one of the best things about being in a sorority, even if you look like a complete doofus you can't feel weird because you're doing it with your sisters. When we finally lined up in our order I was the first to run out. The wait was finally over, we were family.

Thank you, for always being there for me. I am so happy that Jesus, Delta Zeta, and I guess Kennesaw Mountain High School for bringing you to me. I'm so pumped to call you my Big. In high school, if someone had told me that you were going to my Big I probably would have laughed, but we are perfect for each other. I feel bad for other people when we are around each other. I am so glad I found someone who shares my love of crafts and awkward dancing. You are my best friend and I wouldn't trade you for food or money.

Love,

Your Little

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.
