As I have gotten my Little I have realized just how much my Big did for me, and I want to thank her for that. Even more I want to thank her for not expecting this thanks, in fact, for just doing these things because she loves me.

I want to thank you for all the money you’ve spent on me. College isn’t easy on the budget so knowing you spent the honestly egregious amount of money that you have on me humbles me. You don’t do it to win my love, because you know you’ve got that, you do it to show your own. When you’re literally broke, but still managed to buy me a present for Christmas. Or take me out to eat even though you will be using your last three dollars on whatever you get at Sonic. These are the times that I know I mean more to you than your budget, which is saying something.

I want to thank you for all the hours you’ve spent on me. All the car rides to meetings, all the times you could have been doing homework but instead took me out to eat because I missed dinner at the dining center, that time you took me to and waited with me at Urgent Care. All these times when you had things you could’ve been spending your time on that were a lot more fun or productive than hanging out with me and yet, I get to say that I was the one who won your attention and time.

I want to thank you for your support. I don’t know how I could do college without you. Whether it’s talking through a stressful day or simply hanging out when I need a friend, you never let me down. College is a hard time for everyone and we all need that someone we can rant to and just let loose on, and you’re my person. Even your support for the good things is unbelievable. When I ran for Junior Panhellenic Delegate, who was more by my side than you?

So thank you Big for being always by my side! And thanks to my Little for helping me see how awesome being a Big is!
