To My Big

You will forever be my person

To My Big
C.J. Minich

To my better half,

I just want to start off by saying thank you. Thank you for being the most influential woman to ever come into my life. Thank you for being selfless, understanding and the least judgmental person I have ever met. Thank you for being my biggest supporter and my cheerleader.

It all started on some cold days last winter after bid day. From the start, we clicked and I knew I wanted you as my big. It was meant to be when we first realized that we were so similar, it was a little creepy. We have the most random similarities from our moms having the same job, to undeniable loves for Reece's Puffs, Panera macaroni and cheese in bread bowls, and all the wedding shows the world has to offer.

When big-little reveal finally came, I was so nervous, but I knew you were going to become my big that night (at least that's what I was hoping). As I turned around the circle to see you holding the other half to my anchor, I almost lost it. Okay, we all know I actually lost it and became just a tad emotionally unstable, but in the best way possible. You were finally officially my big. From that day forward, you lead me through the ropes of Gamma Phi, and I couldn't be more appreciative.

A few things I want to give recognition for include: Painting me the best and biggest rock ever, not getting annoyed with me, not caring that I can be a little aggressive sometimes, always having my back no matter what I do, buying me food and letters and, most importantly, teaching me what kind of woman I want to become one day.

If I am lucky enough to become at least half of the woman you are one day, I would be very satisfied with my life. You are one of the strongest, most intelligent, driven, beautiful and successful women in my life and I truly aspire to be just like you. When we are together, talking on the phone, FaceTiming or texting, you bring out the best in me and make me want to become better than I was yesterday. Not everyone can make me feel that way. You are a very special person in my life. You are MY person.

As I wrap up this little love letter to you, always remember that you are my best friend. You have been a vital part of my life. My fondest memories of college thus far have been with you. And you're amazing.

I cannot wait to see what life has in store for us this year. All I know is that it's going to be amazing with you by my side.

I love you to the crescent moon and back, 1,874 times,

Your precious 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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
