As many know, I am absolutely obsessed with my little. She is the nicest, funniest and most understanding person I could ever have the pleasure of knowing. Though she is my little, she has taught me more than I could have ever imagined.

1. How to Love Unconditionally

Sure, you will always love your family unconditionally but when you get to college things are overwhelming. Getting a little gives you a person that you can love, spoil and hang out with whenever you want to. You little loves you just as much as you love them and you know they will never break your heart like some stupid boy.

2. Smile Always

My little is always smiling. She has taught me that even when you have a bad day, a smile can help make it better. Not everyone is happy every day, though a smile on your face can help someone else who might be having a bad day as well.

3. How to relax

If you know me at all, I am over-scheduled and organized. My days are planned out weeks in advance. My little has taught me that sometimes I need to just relax and have fun with my friends. I get so caught up in my school work that I forget to have a life. She has shown me that I need to have my own fun sometimes rather than living vicariously through her.

4.What the true meaning of Sisterhood is

My little has shown me that no matter what crisis you're going through that week, she is there to support no questions asked. She does not care if you make a fool out of yourself at social events or even if you spill food all over yourself at lunch. My little has taught me that because of all those things, we are closer than ever and she is never going to leave my side. No matter how emotional and needy I can always count on her being there to take me to lunch or just sit and hang out.

5. What it means to be a Big

Getting a little means taking on a large responsibility. You are so excited but now you have the responsibility of making sure this human who love you unconditionally is heading down the right path. You are the person she goes to for advice and when she needs help in her life. Its your job to be there for her and help her. My little has been there when I have needed her as well. She supports me just as much as I support her. She has taught me what being a Big is really about and I am proud to be hers.

Some might say that I pay for my friends and that's okay. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Sure I might not have met my little otherwise, but she has turned in to someone who I will always need in my life. My little is one of the greatest people I know and I am pretty sure she has taught me more than I have taught her.
