An Open Letter To My Little Brother
Anne Kernkamp

Dear Little Bro,

Thank you for always being brutally honest when I ask you about anything. Whether it's my hair, the guy I am dating or any of my academic decisions, you always tell me like it is. No censor. I may not be the biggest fan of it at the time, but I always appreciate it in the long run.

Thank you for giving me the simplest, but most helpful advice whenever I need it. Somehow you always find a way to make any problem seem so small and the solution seem so easy.

When it comes time for you to bring a girl who you're serious about home to meet the family, I will put aside my belief that no one is good enough for you. I will love any girl that you love and who loves you in return.

Thank you for always standing next to me through any family drama. I am forever grateful for that.

I'm not the biggest sports fan, but I feel confident enough about current events going on in the sporting world, thanks to you. Whether you're yelling at the TV when watching a football game or trying to explain to me the rules of lacrosse, I appreciate it.

I know that I can tell you anything, and even if you do judge me, it won't change your perception of me as a person. You know me better than anyone, and vice versa.

Thank you for sharing many of the same interests as me so our discussions are never boring.

I love how you can always make me laugh at your ludicrous thoughts because I know you aren't afraid of what I think. That's something I will never take for granted.

All in all, thank you for being you.


All The Love In The World,
Your Big Sis.

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.
