To My Little, The Semester After You Rushed

I'm so glad I found my best friend.

To My Little, The Semester After You Rushed
Brooke Cradin

Dear Little,

One of the main reasons I joined a sorority was to gain a whole bunch of close-knit sisters. I grew up with one younger brother, with whom I am very close with, and I had always wanted a sister who I could be just as close with. A sister who I could share clothes and makeup with, go out to eat with, gossip with, and who could be my best friend.

Getting my big was the most exciting part of joining a sorority for me, since I could finally have the sister I always wanted. An older sister who I could look up to as a role model. After being in the sorority for a year as the youngest sister in our tree, I was finally ready to be that role model for someone else and take a little of my own.

I met you on Bid Day, and knew right off the bat that I wanted to get to know you more. It was pretty scary taking a little, since so many other people were too. I was scared that I wouldn’t find anyone who I clicked with. I’m so glad we got to know each other soon after you became a sister, bonding over our love of Lululemon and Starbucks. Our friendship formed quickly, and it only got better from there.

I am so thankful to have you as my little. You are truly the little sister I never had but always wanted, especially since we are the exact same person. You are my therapist, and I can complain to you about absolutely anything. You never fail to give me the best advice that comes straight from your heart. You are my second closet, and I’m so glad we are the same size clothes because you have a much better style than me. You are my wingwoman, and are always there to help me step up my game when we’re out. You are my coffee buddy, and are always up for going to Starbucks with me and aiding in my coffee addiction. You are my motivator, and always pick me up when I'm down and help me push forward. Your support in all that I do means the world to me!

Aside from wanting a little sister who looks up to me, I 100% look up to you. I admire you for your perseverance. You've endured quite a lot in your 19 years of life, and you came out a stronger and better person. You make me want to grow as a person to become the best version of myself, and I think that's the true meaning of a best friend.

I can’t imagine not having you in my life, for you have become my best friend so quickly. I can’t wait to watch you grow and succeed during the rest of your college years. I know you're destined for great things in the future, and I'll always be on the side lines cheering you on like the mom that I am. I am so thankful for the bond that we share, and I know you’ll be my little sister and best friend forever.

I love you lots,

Biggie

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.
