An Open Letter To My Older Sister
Meredith Richards

Dear older sister,

Thank you for being you. Most of the time I do not know what I would do without you. You help me get through some of the toughest moments of my life. When I am in a rough situation it is probably likely you have been in that same exact situation so you tell me how to get out of it. I can tell you things and you will not judge what comes out of my mouth (at least most of the time). You were my first friend. Not only that but you are my first lifelong friend. No matter what we say to each other, whether it is mean or nice, we always come back to each other. You help me navigate my life an figure out what I want to do with my life.

You are always a phone call away. No matter if you are living 20 minutes away or on the other side of the world, you will always be there for me. You make sure I have what I need. We have done so much together and we still have a lot to be done together. We share memories all the time of our childhoods. We may 10 years apart but we have done a lot of the same things.

Thank you for always supporting me in everything that I do. Whether that be gymnastics, band, track, or school you have always been there for me. You may not have been to every meet or concert or every school function but I know you have been there for since day one. I am glad you are not afraid to tell me if something looks good on me or if it looks bad on me. I know I can always go to you for fashion advice. You even let me borrow clothes or accessories occasionally and for that I am very grateful.

I can trust with you everything. Yes we may not tell each other everything but we definitely know a lot about each other. In other words we are very close. I love the relationship we have. As we get older our relationship changes and we get closer because I am beginning to experience what you went through when you were in college. I do not know who I would be without you. Even though we both grew up kinda like only children we grew up in different eras and have different experiences.

I love you so much. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us and I cannot wait to conquer the world together. I am glad that I am around to help you and that you are around to help me.

Sincerely,
your younger 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.
