A Letter To My Little Sisters

To the girls I would do anything for.

A Letter To My Little Sisters
Olivia Atzen

You girls are the most beautiful and amazing people in my life, and I can never express to you how happy I am that God picked you two to be my little mini me's.

Driving you to school, picking you up, running you around for practices or to friends houses; all these things I complain about and hate every time I have to do them. Whether it's waking me up at 7 AM when you're trying to be quiet while stealing clothes from my closet, hearing you scream because you got the brush stuck in your hair, or fighting with each other about who gets the last frozen waffle, it's these little things that'll mean the most to me when I am gone away at college and don't have them anymore.

Alyssa: You are so athletic and smart and beautiful. I know you have the brightest future coming for you. Stay in sports and always put your best effort in girl; it'll take you so far. And, please keep using that big head of yours; not only will it carry you through school, but it will keep you out of trouble (unlike me). Stay away from girls who start drama because they only want to see you get worked up about it. I'm not going to tell you to stay away from boys because I know you'll fall for a cute baseball player, or, who knows, maybe the star quarterback; I know you'll be totally mesmerized by his beauty, and that's okay because everyone needs some love in their life. But, what I will tell you is do not ever let a boy tell you that you are less than he is; do not let a boy treat you anything less than what you know you deserve. Boys suck. They will hurt you, but you just need to know that your happiness is what's important, and no one can take that away from you.

Ava: You are such a beautiful ball of fire. So much energy and knowledge crammed into such a little body, and I just don't understand how it is possible. Your future is going to be so bright. Keep putting yourself out there and loving all the attention you get. Don't be shy around people; just be nice and loving like you always are. You're so young and have so far to go, but don't get ahead of yourself and don't wish to grow up too fast. Take it one day at a time and have fun, because before you know it, you'll be a senior in high school waiting for an acceptance letter from your number one choice school. Spend time with your friends and make some amazing memories.

I know I'm leaving you soon, but when I leave don't forget how beautiful and talented you two are.

Love you guys.

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.
