What You Are Missing Until You Meet Your Big

It is hard to imagine that one person you met during your time at college could end up meaning so much to you. This person is someone who will be there for you at three in the afternoon, or three in the morning. They never judge you, and are always willing to fight for you. They give you superb advice in any situation. The person who obtains all these impressive qualities, is someone you call your Big.

When first joining a sorority, you are the newbie, who let's be honest, has no clue what is going on most of the time. There is so much new information to learn, and you feel like you have just been immersed into a new culture. During this confusing time though, someone comes along who can make even the worst days feel like the best ones.

Before meeting your big, you really never realize what is missing. Your big is truly the older sister that you either already have or never had. At first it seems like just another milestone in your life during your pledging process. However, you come to find that your big will play a major role in your everyday life. Anytime you have a question about anything, this girl will become the first person that you go to.

Your future big has a huge responsibility. They help to make you happy, and strive to make you successful. Having a big gives you an opportunity to experience things that you otherwise would never have known about. Your big is the older college student that you wish to be. With their help, all your dreams and goals can become a reality. They will encourage you to be your best self.

Most people agree that big/little reveal is one of their fondest memories of being in a sorority. Judge all you want, but seriously how could it not be? Not only do you get to officially meet your big, but you also have your entire tree to bond with. These are the people that you soon will be able to confide in for anything.


Not only is your big there for you during your college career, but also for the rest of your life. Anytime you need support or advice, your big can lead you in the right direction. They will be there throughout all your major milestones, which is beyond important because we all need some extra encouragement sometimes. It is amazing to know that no matter what your future may hold for you, your big helped you to get there.

College would be a completely different experience without your big by your side. Never take them for granted, and always be sure to thank them. After all, they are one of your biggest supporters.

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.
