A Letter To My Brother Graduating

Dear Brother,

Fraternity brothers are the men you can turn to in your time of need. Although they are not related to you, and you have only known them for a short time, they can become some of your closest friends. Personally, there is one brother who always stands out to me. He is the true definition of what a brother is supposed to be. He is there to help everyone; regardless of his current situation. Although your time at our school is coming to an end; we will have memories that last a lifetime.


I want to start out by saying thank you. Thank you for always accepting us regardless of our actions. Thank you for welcoming us into the chapter and taking each of us under your wing. Thank you for striving to be a great example to those of us who did not have any idea of what we were doing. Thank you for everything that you do.


You are always working. Working to better yourself, others, and the chapter. You put your all into everything that you do. Even when you are tired, you continue pushing forward. You have a passion for everything, and will continue working until you reach your goal. Also, thank you for being over-passionate at times. You take everything to the next level. Including watching football in the parlor and screaming at the top of your lungs.

Or, playing video games in your room and getting angry or excited (I still have not figured it out). Both of these situations prove how much you care about everything in your life.

You are the person who can make the whole chapter laugh during serious situations. You can bring a smile to everyone you meet. When one of us is able to get you back with one of your own jokes, everyone takes notice (Deez).

Your time at our school and with our chapter is almost over. However, you will always be my brother. You have helped bring this chapter come so far; and will continue helping us in the future. You have overcome so much, and will continue growing as a person. I wish you the best in your future, and hope to see you accomplish all of your goals. Including marrying the girl of your dreams. I understand your true potential, and cannot wait to see where you are in twenty years.

Carl, thank - you for being you!

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.
