An Open Letter To My Big

I can't imagine my life without you in it.

An Open Letter To My Big
Samantha Crosier

Hi Friend,

I can't believe that just half a year ago I didn't even know who you were. Now, I can't imagine life without you. Going through recruitment and finding you in my sorority was one of the best things that could've happened to me in my first year at school. I sometimes still can't believe I was lucky enough to have you as my Big and to officially be a part of your little sorority family.

First off, I cannot believe how alike we are. Never in a million years did I ever think my Big would have the same passions, hobbies and values as I do. I was nervous about who my Big might be, even though I loved the idea of having one. I never thought that my Big would be someone that I could look to in any given situation, but you definitely proved my thoughts wrong. Big / Little reveal brought so many nerves. I was worried that we would not end up together because you had fooled me throughout the whole week. When I saw you standing in front of me at reveal, I couldn't help giving you the biggest hug; I was too happy for words.

Thank you for being there for me always. No matter what I need, whether it's the stupidest question that you've ever heard or a situation that I need help in, you are always there. Not only are you there, but you just smile at me and give me the warmest hug which makes me feel so much better. You always know just what to say and have helped me so much already.

You have always put a smile on my face, especially when I need it most. It's like you have a sense of when I need a laugh or a pick me up throughout the day. I love how we can laugh at each other when we do something silly or something that we may not necessarily be proud of. I love to hear the crazy stories from your life and I love telling you mine. It's the best to just laugh off the awkward moments and interesting times that we have.

Thanks for always including me and introducing me to your friends. You could've kept your Little and your friends separate, but you always invite me to several events you go to, which means a lot. I love spending time with you and it's always great to see you more than usual.

Thank you for listening to me complain about my professors, friends and life situations. I know I can trust you with anything and I really like having someone that I can go to about anything and know that I can trust that you'll help me. Likewise, thanks for always looking out for me. You and I both know that I can be a crazy, clumsy girl and am at times a handful, so thank you for tolerating me. Thank you for always making yourself available when I need you most.

Finally, thank you so much for being you. I can't imagine the world without my Big. It would be a cold, unfortunate place. You fill my life with so much love and sunshine and I couldn't ask for a better big in any lifetime.

I love you more than you will ever know!

Your Little (a.k.a., Smallest)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
