An Open Letter To My Little

Things that every Big wants to tell her Little.

An Open Letter To My Little

Dear Little,

Before you were even officially my Little, I had already stalked you and knew everything about you. I had creeped on your Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to learn everything I possibly could about you. I needed to know things like your favorite color, pattern, and initials so I could start crafting for you and buying you everything monogrammed.

The day of Big/Little reveal is one of my best memories. When you ran into my arms and started crying, I knew that this was the start of an amazing friendship. Now, almost a year later, our relationship has only grown and gotten stronger. And I know that in the upcoming years we will just continue to grow and know each other even better. Not just in college, but after college. I know this is cheesy, but I can say without a doubt that I know you will be a bridesmaid at my wedding.


Every time I hear you say the word "Big," I still don't think that it is really you calling me. Thank you for teaching me what its like to be a big sister. You have given me new meaning in our sorority and I wouldn't ever want to change that. You have taught me things about myself that I never knew before. You have taught me how to be responsible for another person, how to be selfless, and how to put others before myself. These are all things that I can use outside of the sorority and in my own life.

Thank you for somehow knowing exactly what to say and when to say it. Thank you for never judging me and for telling me that no matter what, you will always support me. You are my right hand and my backbone. I honestly don't know how I got through my first two years of college without you in my life.

I know that eventually you will take a Little and go through all the emotions, but remember not to forget about your Big. Soon enough we will be graduating, and you will be the oldest in the tree. I know that you will be the most incredible Big and carry on our amazing family tree.

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.

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.
