An Open Letter To My Big

Dear Biggie,

I will never be able to come up with the words to express how much you mean to me. You are my go to. Whenever anything is wrong, I know that I can come to you with it. Sorority related or not, you have always been there when it meant the most. I apologize for the too many times where I have texted you messages that seem to have no ending, and I thank you for acting like sending that long of a message is normal. I also want to apologize for the often occurring complaining, but it's just so easy to come to you with tough situations! You always find a way to give me reassurance that everything will be alright, and you never forget to remind me that you are always here for me. I hope you know that even though I am your Little, I, too, am always here for you!

I remember talking with you at one of the recruitment rounds, and I thought it was so awesome that you had just recently switched from another school to our school but were still able to be involved in our sorority. You just stood out to me, and I don't even know exactly why! Then, at preference night, I remember sitting at the kitchen table of our sorority house, eating cake pops and sipping some delicious bubbly drink. I was so nervous, but you made me feel so much more calm and welcome (not that I didn't feel welcome before that). Something was just so special about you, and I was determined to figure out what it was. Turns out, there is not figuring out what is so special about you, because there is no way to describe it. It's just you as an overall person! Your bubbly personality, your optimism, your sarcasm, everything just fits together to make you nothing short of perfect!

I want to take this moment to thank you for being someone I know that I can look up to. You have such a great work ethic, and you work so hard towards whatever you put your mind to. You are easily approachable, and you greet everyone you meet with a huge smile and a loving hug! You express such positivity towards whatever is thrown at you. There are so many people in the chapter that look up to you, and I am lucky enough to get to call that inspirational person my Big!

I was so surprised when I found out that you were my Big! After popping what seemed to be one million balloons, I was faced with having to put the tiny, paper puzzle pieces together. At that point, I had no idea who my Big was (ps, you did an amazing job hiding who you were in my clues). Lets be real, I did not put that puzzle together. I found the one tiny piece that had your name written on it, and I went running into your arms! Thank you for welcoming me in with literally open arms, and for loving me from that moment forward. Your love is so evident, and I know that I will always have you by my side!

So, thank you Maddie. Thank you for being who you are, for loving me, and for believing in me. You are such a special person, and I am so lucky to be the one that you chose.

Love,

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.
