Sorority big little week...a time where girls spend most of their time trying to embody a color-coordinated display set up they randomly found on Pinterest. Each school and sorority chapter is different, but most involve gift giving. Now, this personally stressed me out a little bit, not to mention the fact that i was taking on not just one, but TWO littles (I know, I'm crazy). I wanted to spoil them but also found myself not necessarily having the funds to do this. So, let's get ~crafty~

1. Flowers

Flowers are one of those gifts that are so easy, yet so meaningful. With two littles, you can even split the flowers up and save some money.

2. Mason jars

Fill these with anything and everything. They're super cute and can be used after the festivities are over, too. I put candy, gift cards, small items and more inside of the jars and wrapped some ribbon around to make them more visually appealing.

3. Fuzzy socks

You can never have too many pairs of fuzzy socks and they're a given item that your little will love!

4. Picture frame

Buy a picture frame and stick a cute picture of the two of you inside, or if you're trying to keep the week of the reveal a secret, put a little note inside that reads something along the lines of "Insert a cute picture of us here!"

5. Stickers

If you walk around a college campus where Greek life is present, you'll most likely see Greek letters on laptops, water bottles, cars, etc. You can't go wrong with purchasing some stickers of your sorority letters for your little to deck out her new gear.

6. Face masks

Face masks are cheap, small, and you can pile them up to make a cute display. I know that my littles were so excited to get some skin treatment and even got some for myself so that we could all have a face mask party.

7. Canvas paintings

If you have enough paint and consider yourself an artistic person, you've got a huge advantage and can create some unique and personal paintings for your little. Pinterest has lots of ideas for paintings that pertain to sorority related designs, but also has many ideas for trendy wall art as well.

8. Greek letters

Wooden greek letters that you can paint are SO appreciated by the little sisters. They would love nothing more than to be able to hang them up in their dorm and show off their cute letters. There are so many different designs and variations available to personalize the letters, be creative!

9. T-SHIRTS

Your little is relatively new to the sorority and probably doesn't have too many t-shirts to wear around yet. I had an excessive amount of shirts, some that I never even wear, from a bunch of events and some that my big passed down to me. Trade shirts with some sisters and give your little some tees so she can represent your letters.

10. Snacks

Your little, or any girl, will definitely appreciate some free food. Purchase a basket and put a few of her favorite snacks and candy inside, you can maybe even add some colored frilly filling inside to make it look fuller and cuter!

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.
