Personal

Welcome to the family G-Littles,

I know you have had a crazy couple of weeks between songs practice, meetings, and basket week...but now, reveal is finally here!!! You have been wondering all week who could be the girl behind all of your wonderful baskets. I'm happy to say that that girl is my little!

She has loved you since day one, and I can't wait to see y'all's relationship grow. Having a little of my own has been such a blessing and now, adding two new additions to the family, I couldn't be more excited!

I hope you know what you are getting yourselves into. This family is loud. This family is a good time. This family is full of bad jokes. This family is kind. This family is loving. This family will be you saving grace because I know it has been mine.

Waiting for you at reveal was the most nerve-racking and exciting experience. Dressed up in my nightgown and slippers while jamming out to Beyoncé with the rest of the family is something you can't get anywhere else. We knew your reaction would be confused, or maybe even scared, but it was so worth it. There honestly isn't a more accurate depiction of our family than that, and we are so glad that we got to share that with you.

I hope you enjoy being the babies of the family because, before you know it, you will be taking littles of your own! However, until then, I will be the one spoiling you—just as every grandmother should. From late night study sessions, to girls nights out, to random trips to Austin, I can't wait to share all of these memories with you. You deserve the world, and I want to give it to you!

Without this family, I'm unsure how I would have gotten this far in college. These girls will be there to celebrate with you on your best days, and they will be there to cry with you on your worst days. No matter whats going on in your life, we will always be there for you.

This family is a safe haven where you can be apologetically yourself. No one will judge you for being a shamble show, or slipping up on a test, or even going out in public with rollers in your hair. Its our job to be there for each other no matter what. Growing up with only brothers, I never knew what is was like to have sisters. After joining a sorority, I gained close to 300 sisters, but more specifically, I gained a family of my own.

I have learned to not take advantage of the time we have together because there will come a day when we do have to graduate and immerse ourselves in the real world. No matter the distance, no matter the time, no matter the place, we will always be family, and I will always be there for you.

I already love you so much G-Lits, and I can't wait to see our friendship grow into a lifelong bond. Keep being yourself, don't be afraid to take risks, and never forget family!

XO,

G-Biggy

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.
