An Open Letter To My Future Little

To My Future Little:

Maybe right now you're sitting in a high school classroom, counting the ceiling tiles above you just like you count the days before graduation. Or maybe you graduated last year but you didn't go through Recruitment because you didn't think Greek life was for you, but when you got to campus you changed your mind. Maybe you played volleyball in high school, or maybe like me you prefered art. Maybe you love Taylor Swift, or prefer Blink 182, or maybe you like them both. Maybe I'll meet you through Recruitment, or maybe you'll be a COR girl. No matter what, I want you to know I love you with all my heart, and I have a couple of promises for you.

I promise to craft for you until my fingers bleed and I've finished every series on Netflix, just to make sure you have the best decorated room in your entire dorm.

I promise not to judge you, and to do my best to give you advice for every situation you get into, even if I have no experience with that situation.

I promise to proofread every paper you write, and find someone to help you with subjects neither one of us is good at.

I promise to scream your name every time I see you, and run up to hug you. Unless you don't like hugs, in which case, we'll work something out.

I promise to do everything in my power to bring you happiness, because seeing you smile will be my favorite thing.

I promise to comment emoji hearts and mention how proud I am on every Instagram or Facebook picture you post.

I promise to bring you your favorite foods whenever you've had a bad day, or you feel homesick.

I promise to be your [big]gest supporter and brag about everything you do to anyone who will listen.

I promise to always have my phone on and apartment open if you have a problem, or if you just want to see me.

I promise to be your mother, big sister, and best friend.

I promise to always remind you just how much I love and care about you.

Love,

Your Future 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.

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.
