A Letter To My Big

Thanks for the memories.

A Letter To My Big
Marissa Ceballos

Dear Big,

When I joined this sorority I did not know what to expect. I was fresh out of attending four “parties,” that determined my home forever. When I was given my bid, I didn’t know what to expect but I knew I was excited. I was excited for the next years and the memories I was about to make. I did not know who you were or the role you would play in my life, I just knew this bid. As the weeks moved along I did not know you yet but I went through this speed dating thing and I met a lot of different possible Bigs.

Honestly no one stood out to me, I was too dazed and overwhelmed to remember names or even answer questions efficiently. When it came to clue week I was really excited to find out who you were. The anticipation grew with every clue. I still didn’t know you, I just knew these clues. Then I remember big/little reveal, I couldn’t believe it. Now I knew you, I knew you were the girl in the sorority who tried to throw me off of my clues. I knew you were the girl who sat next to me when I needed to talk. Most of all I knew you as my new best friend.

Now that I know you, all that I have to say is thank you! Thanks for forcing me to go to class. Even though I complain about it or disown you for fifty minutes. I’m glad I have a big who is willing to push me to do well. Thanks for keeping weird guys away. You always find a way to get me out of awkward situations with guys that “just want to talk.” You see danger before I see it and I really appreciate it.

Now, let’s not forget about the adventures! Since you have been my big, you have helped me become open to new ideas. Our adventures around the state and our sleepovers are times I will never forget. There is never a dull moment between you and I. Not to mention that we don’t fight or get upset, we just work it out. At least we try our best, to keep it together most of the time. We definitely have each other’s back.

Thank you for telling me to love myself when I don’t want to. You have made me a stronger person and become such an inspiration in my life. Most of all thank you for guiding me through this process. A big is meant to guide their little in the right direction to teach her the ways of our sorority. You have done that for me. It is through you that I have learned to appreciate our rituals on a whole new level. I hope that if I ever pick up a little I can be half the big you are. Here is to the memories to come.

Sincerely,

Your Little

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
