I spent a whole month crafting, collecting t-shirts, selling t-shirts to buy better ones, drawing and redrawing stationary just to make this one day out of the year better than all the rest.

Big/little season is upon us and I believe it is much better than bid day. This is the day girls find out that the home away from home they tried so hard to describe to each girl they talked to during rush becomes a reality. That the sisterhood they went through recruitment for becomes a lot closer and even more complex than they could have ever imagined. Today is the day that girls find mentors, best friends, and true sisters.

As the youngest in my family, I was always so jealous of my older siblings for having younger siblings. I wanted a younger sister or brother so bad, but I knew that that dream was always just a dream until I joined my sorority. When my time came to sign up to take a little I put down that I wanted twins before I did anything else. Now as I am writing this I am still not sure if I will have twins or just one little, but I can tell you this with full confidence- whether it is just one girl or two each of them will have my whole heart.

I learned from my older siblings how important younger siblings are and man oh man will I cherish my little, but let's be honest I don't even know who she is yet and I am so obsessed.

So to my little,

I promise to be there for you always. From failing a test to boy troubles to not being able to decide between original Cheese-Its and Pepper Jack Cheese-Its. I promise to laugh with you and cry with you. I promise to always give you honest advice (can't promise that it'll be good, but oh well). I won't abandon you. I will make sure that you know you are wanted, not just by me, but by our entire sisterhood. I will make sure that I go to as many events as I can so that you never have to worry about not knowing someone. I will always answer when you call. I will always help you study and I will always cheer you on as you walk into your first ever college final. On the days that you feel like the world is against you, I promise to always be the one person who is on your side. No matter what you participate in I will always be on the front row cheering you on or at the finish line waiting for you whether you are in first place or last.

I hope that you know you are loved and I hope you know that you are wanted, but if you ever feel like you aren't I will always remind you that you are. I am here for you always and I never want you to forget that. So, here's to this big/little season and all the rest as we expand our family. I hope that I am the sister you have always dreamed of and I am able to impact your life as much as both of my bigs have mine.

Love always,

Biggie
