Advice To My Younger Sisters, Who I Love Dearly
Kayla Bishop

Dear Younger Sisters,

I am not writing this because I do not think you do not already know this stuff already, I am writing this just because I want you to know as your older sister I have gone through it before as well and you will be okay. Even though we are not that far apart in ages, it is crazy watching you both grow up and do things that I have done first. I never had someone to look up to or watch do things first like drive a car or graduate high school, but you do and I want to give you advice on whatever I can to make it easier for you!

First, I want to let you know that boys, especially in high school, will be everywhere. There will always be that boy that you swoon over and find so cute that you can't help but stare at him when he walks by. Honestly though, that is an awesome feeling. But, if a boy ever asks you on a date KNOW YOUR WORTH. Obviously make sure that dad approves because if dad does not approve then the boy has to go! Do not be co-dependent in your relationships, be your own person. Always be yourself first and do not ever rely on a boy for happiness. You are freaking awesome and do not need a boy to make you realize that.

When you go off to college there might be some people that you see rarely or never talk to again and that is OKAY. Not everyone will stay in your life forever and you all are going to go on different paths. Some people might still be there to catch up with here and there and if you are lucky you will have a few people who you stay in contact with but do not let it bother you if you never talk to people again. Life is all about meeting new people and trying new things so make sure you do this in college, especially if you go away!

Now, even though you are my little sisters I want you to know that I look up to you in so many ways. I love seeing you guys grow up and sometimes I wish I did things different the way you guys are doing things. You guys motivate me to work harder for the things I deserve and need. I feel like you guys are way more mature than I was at your age and I am very proud of you!

Lastly, just know that whatever we go through we are going to go through together and we are going to be best friends forever! No matter what we encounter through out your lives individually, I will be by your side to help you and give you a shoulder to cry, yell or laugh on. You guys may be my little sisters but you are both so grown up and I am super excited to see where life takes you both. Just know that I love you both deep down no matter what!

Love,

Your Favorite Older Sister

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.
