7 Things That Happen When You Have Twin Littles

For as long as I can remember, all I wanted was a sister. All I had growing up was a much older big brother. So, when I joined a sorority and found out about this whole big/little thing, I knew immediately I wanted to have two littles.

Before I even had a big, I was already thinking about crafts to make for my littles. I eventually got my two perfect littles, and I couldn't be any more blessed to call them mine. Here’s what I’ve learned about being a mom (big) of two young ones:

1. Twice the amount of love.

There's nothing like hugging both your littles because you know they just love you so much.

2. They'll put you in check when you're being dramatic.

You know you're overreacting when both of them tell you you need to cut it.

3. They have each other to entertain one another.

It's like having puppies. They can have fun without you when you're busy.

4. They're your biggest support team.

They'll both cheer you on like some crazy kids, because it's just weird if they're screaming for one person by themselves.

5. You get to embarrass not just one, but two littles.

On social media. In chapter. On campus. At intramural games. Everywhere.

6. They gang up on you.

Whether it's something serious or something joking -- no matter what -- it's always out of love.

7. You get two best friends for life.

And that's the biggest blessing of it all.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
