An Open Letter To My Big

Just because I love you.

An Open Letter To My Big

Summer has settled in. The excitement of finals being over and freedom has come to an end. Now, my days are filled with seeing my family, beach trips and long naps in my hammock. Something else has settled in though. I miss my sorority sisters. It's hard for me to believe that a year ago I didn't know one of you. Now, I can't wait for the next workshop. I miss my Big and my Twin the very most.


Big,

Do you remember the letter I handed you after reveal? My hands were shaking so hard from all of the love. I didn't even know you then. I'll say this again, because it blows me away. I did not even know you! Now, when I get into fights with my family members, hear a new amazing song, or even hear a funny joke, I want to tell you. I want to curl up in your dorm room and laugh at pointless things until the sun comes up. I miss late night study sessions that turn into ice cream dates. I miss helping you do your boards for your RA job. I love that everyone knows you and your smiling face. Remember that time you broke my Nana's oven? Me too. I miss you.

I also want to thank you. Thank you for first of all, being a kind spirit. I have never met anyone who brings more joy into the world than you. It inspires me everyday. You once told me that you always wanted to be a somebody to someone. You are my somebody. You're the somebody in so many people's lives. I'm not the only one who loves all the sunshine you have. People that I don't even know talk about the good things that you do. So thank you, for being the person I want to be.

Thank you for showing me what Delta Zeta really is. You taught me the songs. You laughed when I said the password wrong. You encouraged me to run for internal social. You tell me to love all of my sisters, no matter if that day I choose not to like them. No matter what event I'm holding, you and my faithful Twin are right behind me. You support me to the very end. You brought my perfect family tree to me. How wonderful it is to have a GG, G-Big, Aunt, and Twin to have on your side when the world is falling down.

I would also like to tell you, I can never thank you enough for this last one. Thank you for always listening to me. You put every one of my problems before yours. You have listened to me talk until I've talked in circles. You seem to always know exactly what to say, to the "It's going to be okay." or the "Please, Let me go beat him up." You've heard all of my stories, you've seen all of my fears. You know me just as a Big should know her Little.

I know you almost stroke out every time I mention anything about my future Little, but you are going to be the best G-Big. But, I want you to know something. I want to always be your Little. Being a Big will be amazing, and I know I will be crazy about my Little. Just know I refuse to stop being a Little, too. I love you, Biggie. I wouldn't be the person I am today if I didn't have you. I hope I am half the Big you are.


Love,

Your Little Bit

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.
