An Open Letter To My New Big

I hope you’re ready for the most loyal and annoying little, because she’s right here

Dear Big,

I came back to my dorm room from class today to find a surprise from you, and I’m beyond ecstatic to know I have a big sister watching over me. The number one reason I joined Greek life a month ago was to find my home, and there is no doubt in my mind I’ve found it. From an amazing bid night (which just so happened to be my birthday! Best present ever.) to getting to know my new sisters, it's been an incredible experience. I'm now surrounded by the most kind, intelligent group of girls I've ever met, and I know I ended up in the right place.

But now it’s time for the next step: to have a big sister! I am beyond excited to have you in my life and to share my sorority experience with you. I can’t wait to be able to turn to you for everything Greek life and more, from learning all about our organization, to figuring out what formal dress to wear, to bothering you asking what selfie angle makes me look best. I hope you’re ready for the most loyal and annoying little, because she’s right here!

Thank you so so much for leaving me the nicest gifts today and for already showing me so much love. As I go to classes and try to manage my busy schedule, you're taking the time behind the scenes to break into my room (but not in a breaking and entering kind of way) and leave me awesome things. Bid day may have been my birthday, but this is Christmas.

I can't wait to do everything even remotely big-little related together, and I really hope we'll be slaying the Instagram game. I'm sure we'll be throwing what we know together, and I hope you're prepared to take 100 pics for every post because I'm the worst.

I'm so excited to get to know you, as well as to meet your big! I'm fully expecting my grand-big to shower me in butterscotches and sugar packets every time I see her. Anything less will prove unsatisfactory. Please pass this message along.

Based on what I recieved today, I already know I'm going to love you. At this point, all I can do is allow the breaking and entering to continue, and hope that I live up to everything a little can be and more.

I can't wait to wear our letters together.

Love,

Your little

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

15 Female TV Characters Who Prove That Women Actually Rule

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

11 Things You'll Understand If You Act Sassy AF But You're Actually A Really Nice Person

Ugh, why is it so hard to be mean?

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.

Ugh, why is it so hard to be mean?

1. You are honestly kind of offended when people say you are a nice person

2. People think it’s cute when you act sassy

3. You always have people who annoy you but will not stop following you around

4. You often have trouble deciding how you want to present yourself to people

5. You have probably never actually hurt someone’s feelings

6. Finding friends is such a struggle

7. But actually, that is a joke because your flexible personality allows you to be friends with many people

8. You are secretly kind of (actually downright) jealous of queen bees, especially those from TV shows

9. You often read articles with titles such as “24 Reasons You're A Sasshole,” thinking they are going to be so relatable….

10. Sometimes you get really mad and wish you could actually come across as a total bitch…

11. …but at the end of the day, you are thankful for how nice you are

Every girl is guilty of number two.

You cut people off - fast!

Queen of Creeping.

When you need to let others know exactly who you are.

Making new friends is not an easy task.

You have no problem tellin' it like it is.

Frenemies

You judge what other girls are wearing - hard.

Only your best friends see your emotions.

You've mastered the fake personality.

You have your very own Chuck Bass.
