Dear Future Little,
It's kind of hard to believe that I'm going to become someone who in a sense, is like a big sister to you. I've never been a big sister to another girl before and I honestly don't really know what to expect. I'd hope that you like me just as much as I like you because most likely, I will be crazy about you. I hope you'll see me as someone you can depend on and look up to. Coming to college, I didn't have any experience with Greek life except for what I saw in "The House Bunny" and "Sydney White". I know both of those movies were very heavily stereotyped, but they both had a common lesson:
In the end, where you end up and who you end up surrounding yourself with should put you in place where you feel completely accepted. I can go on and on about having movie marathons together and taking late night trips to get fast food (which are still the best thing ever) but I want you to know that it's okay to let every part of you shine through, even the pieces you have a trouble liking about yourself. Because in the end, that's what matters the most. It's about you being about to trust someone fully and not feeling scared to be honest with them.
I get that it's kind of scary to go through a process where you have to find someone to do just that with, someone you have never met before but I'm telling you now, I will try my hardest to a be a friend and sister who you can look at and say, "She's my big and I trust her with all of my heart." I might be expecting a lot to happen between us but it's because I will most likely also be in love with you and think you are the cutest thing ever. It's casual. But anyways, I just want to say that no matter what, I will never judge you and will always be there to help, give advice, be a shoulder to cry on or for whatever you need. College is tough enough already without other factors in life making it harder to get up every day and have the motivation to keep going. I get it. I've been there and I just want you to know that I've got your back. I'm so excited to meet you and I can't wait to start making memories. I hope you have an amazing time going through recruitment and I'll see you soon.
Sincerely,
Your future big
