A Letter To My Future Little
C. Babb

Dear Little,

You don't know exactly who I am yet, but that day will get here before we know it. I’ve discovered so much about you. I know your favorite color, season, animal, and flower pattern. I’ve creeped so far back on your Facebook that I know exactly how awkward you were in 2008, and yet I’m still just as in love with you as I was before.

Over the next few weeks, you’ll wonder who I am, and I’ll bite my tongue while I try not to spoil it. I’ll awkwardly avoid you at our events, out of fear that I won’t be able to stop myself from gushing all over you. Although I’ll try to lead you astray with my clues, I hope you’ll still tell your friends that you want it to be me.

Please know that you will always have a friend in me. This sorority is your home away from home and that's what I'll be for you. I'll be your mom when you need someone to take care of you, I'll be your sister, your mentor, and one of the best friends you could ask for. You need it little? Big's got it.

I'll chase the boys away that clearly aren't a nine, and give you nothing but the truth when you ask if your outfit looks cute. We will Netflix binge together as we shop for matching shirts online. We can get in the car and just ride around for hours with no destination.

I promise to always be here for you no matter what. Whether it be boy troubles, friend troubles, or school troubles, you can believe I’ve been through it all and will help you to get through it, too. I promise to pick up the phone on the first ring and I'll always make sure you're OK.

Not only will you always have me, but you will always have your Grand Big and the rest of your family in your corner. They are just as excited as I am to have you to share this life with. You could not have picked a better family, really.

Little, I can’t promise to be perfect. I’m sure I’ll have my moments where you wonder who is the big and who is the little and I’m going to apologize in advance. I will always try to turn our less than ideal situations into the best and funniest stories and will always make up any of my shenanigans with feeding you and taking you shopping. Thank you for being you and I can’t wait to make even more memories in the coming years!

I can't wait for the day that you find out who I am.

Love,

Big

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
