A Letter To My Future Little

A Letter To My Future Little

Dear Future Little,

You're probably sitting in a classroom in high school staring at the seconds tick by on a clock dying to get out of that place. You're probably so excited and anxious and nervous to come to college and go through the rush process. You can't wait to find a chapter that you fit into perfectly and sisters that love you from the start. You don't even know me, but I already love you so much.

It may be during recruitment, or it may be weeks after, but I'm going to know that you're the perfect little for me as soon as I lay eyes on you. And I already know that you're going to be the most perfect little in the history of all littles.

I've already been scheming ways I'm going to try and deceive you during big little week and pinning on my Pinterest boards the crafts I want to make for you over the summer. I'm already so excited about welcoming you into my family and watching you fall in love with the chapter that I am so passionate about.

I want you to know I'll always be there for you. I'll be there when that jerk boy makes out with your best friend in front of you and when you're homesick. I'll be on your side when you get into a fight with your best friend (even if you're in the wrong). My door is always wide open when you need to come vent, complain or need a shoulder to cry on.

I promise to be there to warn you about boys that I know are bad for you, understand when you go after him even when I advise you not to, and be there to help you through it when he screws you over like I knew he would. But I'll never say I told you so.

I promise to be your surrogate mom when you're in trouble and help you out of any sticky situation. I double promise to take you to go get ice cream when it's more than necessary. Or if it's just a Tuesday.

Now I know I'm not perfect, and I know I may not always be the best role model. Sometimes I'm a brat and sometimes I make questionable life choices, but my biggest promise to you is that I will do my absolute best to be someone that you'll want to look up to.

I'm already counting down the days, future little, until I can finally make you officially mine and I just can't wait.

SO much love for you already,
Your Future Big

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.

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.
