Open Letter To My Sorority Twin

Two is better than one

Open Letter To My Sorority Twin
Brianna Zakala

Twinny,

I always wanted to be a twin in real life. Never would I have thought I'd get a twin in my sorority. To be honest, I never knew that sorority twins actually existed. I thought every little got their big and they lived happily ever after. Then, one day I became a twin.

I was so angry. We chose a smaller sorority where this was unheard of; I always thought I'd have my big to myself. So many things went through my mind. I hate competition, I immediately thought, What if our big has a favorite? Then what? There could never just be pictures of my big and I, like the normal big/little pictures, it'd always have to be the three of us. You are definitely the prettier twin. I wanted to be spoiled and have that one person to give me their undivided attention and love.

All of these thoughts slowly went away as we began to pledge together (except for the fact that you're the prettier one). Then, the day came when we finally admitted how salty we were to be twins; I believe this was the true beginning of our friendship.

Now, I see it the way it is. The only thing that's closer to someone than a sister in your sorority is your twin (if you're lucky enough to have one). We may be polar opposites in some ways, but we have a bond that nobody else can relate to. I love being the Blair to your Serena. Not many people have the cute twin pictures like we do. Nobody else in our sorority gets to be obnoxious and scream, "twinny!" when the other walks in. We're constantly #Twinning.

Our littles that we don't have yet, are the luckiest girls in the entire Greek world because they get the greatest aunts and double the spoilage. We get to team up on everything sorority related; half the price for our g-big and bigs gifts -- what's better than that? When our big graduates and has to leave us, we'll always still have each other. When I need someone to complain to, I choose you. When I need to have a little fun or just go with someone to lunch, I choose you. I choose you for everything, because you're my other half, metaphorically and literally. You were a blessing in disguise that I regret not favoring from the beginning.

Along this journey, I found my better half. It turns out, I never needed a biological twin because I was meant to have you.

Xoxo.

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.
