A Letter To My Sisters Abroad

Missing you more than I could have imagined.

A Letter To My Sisters Abroad

Dear (insert name of any sister not currently in the United States),

Let me start out by saying I am so jealous. You've only been across the pond for maybe a week, but your pictures are breathtaking. The beautiful countrysides, the late nights with friends, the scenic ocean views and the food. Oh my gosh, the food. It looks like you are having an insane amount of fun. I cannot wait to hear all about it in person when I see you again. I know you are having the time of your lives, and I wish I could be there doing all those fun things with you.

I miss you all dearly. Being at chapter this week not seeing your beautiful faces was incredibly weird. I've only known you for a semester, but not seeing you walking to class or bumping into you at Qdoba feels wrong. I know you're doing well though. I can't text you because of the whole no service across the ocean thing, but your Snapchats make me so happy (side note, the Snapchat filters over there are killing the game compared to the ones over here). I also love to see all the pictures of you throwing what you know. Whether it's off the edge of a waterfall, by a beautiful cathedral in Madrid or off a balcony looking over the ocean, I adore seeing you rep your letters even when you aren't with us.

I love seeing you all still hanging out with other sisters. I'm glad you get to experience this together, and seeing it makes me smile every time. I know I'm new to this chapter, but that fact that you guys are out there traveling the world with each other as not just friends but sisters makes me more excited than I can put into words.

I'll miss you a lot over these next few months and all summer. Chapters will continue to happen every Wednesday, and you won't be there. You'll keep sending me Snapchats from thousands of miles away. Events will come and go, and I won't see you on the dance floor. But that's OK. I know you're having so, so much fun, and I can't wait to here all about it soon enough. So keep up with the pictures, the amazing food and the late nights. Study hard, and get back to us safe and sound in a few months. Miss you and love you dearly.

Love,

Your (stuck in the U.S.) sister

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.
