An Open Letter To My Big

Thanks for being the big sister I never got to have.

An Open Letter To My Big
Jessica Dunaway

My Sweet Big,

Words cannot explain how much you mean to me. Coming into college, I had no idea we would become sorority sisters and that you would eventually become my big. You have helped make my college experience amazing so far and I will never be able to thank you enough.

Coming to college, I was just this shy girl who barely spoke up and only talked if I was talked to first. When I first met you, I could tell you and I were polar opposites. You always spoke your mind, you didn't care what others thought, and you were so funny. I admired these qualities about you, as well as your confidence. I knew the first time I met you that I wanted us to become good friends. I looked up to your attitude on life and aspired to be like you.

You were always such an amazing friend to me, and when rush came along, I was so excited. While I was excited to visit all other chapters, a part of me just wished that I would get to be in your sorority. You can only imagine my excitement when I got my bid; I couldn't wait to officially call you my sister! It was right then that I knew that I wanted you to be my big. The amount of joy and happiness I experienced on big/little reveal when you picked me up as your little was an amazing thing that I or anyone else will never be able to replace.

Since the day I have met you, you have gone to such great lengths to make me feel like such a special little. If it was not for you, I would still be the shy girl scared to talk and put myself out there. You have helped me grow in so many areas, especially in confidence. You have always been there to cheer me up when I'm sad, as well as to tell me to realize my worth when I am upset over stupid things. When everyone else seems to be unavailable, you always are, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate you for that. I hope that I will be as great of a big to my littles as you have been to me.

Thanks for being the big sister that I never got to have.

All My 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.
