A Letter To My Little

We'll Always Be

A Letter To My Little
Self

Sweet little,

I never really thought much about what being a big actually meant until I took on this huge responsibility. It's more than just having super cute matching shirts and constantly having someone to talk to. The closer it gets to reveal the more I have begun to grasp the concept of what being your big actually means. Now realizing what all goes into it, I can promise you these things.

Let me just start by saying you are the sweetest girl I've ever met. You are kind hearted and have a personality that anyone would strive to have. Although you don't know who I am yet, I promise that our bond will be unbreakable and that I'll love you like you're blood. I promise to always be someone you can come to. Whether it be boy trouble or you struggling with your faith, I promise I will do my best to lift your spirits and ensure you that everything happens for a reason. I've been through some of the same things that you will encounter and I promise to help you get through all of it. I promise to push you so that you succeed to the best of your abilities. I promise to encourage you to try new things and to cheer you on with every activity that you take on. I promise to be by your side through everything that our sweet sisterhood has to offer us. Not only that but I promise to be your person even after our years at this great university are over. I promise to always answer your calls and texts no matter the hour (but please keep in mind that I take a lot of naps). I promise to always be your shoulder to cry on and to be your supplier of sappy romcoms and gallons of ice cream. I promise to always have an open seat for you in my car (for when you're feeling lazy or when you get yourself in trouble and need a lift, but hopefully that never happens). I promise to always be honest with you, no matter the subject and I promise to do my best to not hurt your feelings when things get real. I promise to be your late night food runs and spontaneous adventure partner. I can't promise to be perfect. I can't promise that I won't fail. I apologize in advance for all the times that I mess up. But, little, I promise to be the best big that I can for you. I can't wait to make countless memories with you as the years go by.

Lots of love,

Your 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.
