My Brother is Not So Little Anymore

To My Brother Who is Thinking About College
Myself

Wow...I can't believe you are halfway through high school and already thinking about where you want to head off to college. It feels like just yesterday that I was going the hospital two days before my third birthday to go meet my new baby brother that had just arrived and I tried to give you back (But now I'm glad that I couldn't). The day you were born is the day that my life completely changed for the better. It was the day that I was no longer the only child and that I became a big sister.

We have had so many memories, arguements, and much more together. We also have gone through a lot together. Some of my favorite memories include playing together in the basement when we were younger, spending the summer doing activities at Point Sebago in Maine, playing together on the same hockey team and Dad being our coach, watching all your sporting events and the list could go on.

You aren't just my sometimes annoying but amazing little brother but you are also my right hand, partner in crime, biggest competitor (sometimes), teammate, my twin (according to some people) but most importantly, you were my first real best friend and you always will be. You have been by my side since the year 2000 and I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for you.

I am so proud of how far you have come and for everything you have accomplished in life. You are so determined to succeed at everything you do and to achieve every goal you have and that is something I truly love about you because you don't care how hard the goal is to achieve, you always want to work hard to reach your goal and make your dreams become a reality.

I can't believe you are finishing your sophomore year and you already know what you want to do in life and where you want to go to college after high school. I didn't know what i wanted to do and where I wanted to go until the end of my junior year and the beginning of my senior year. I know you will do amazing in whatever you do and I will always be your biggest fan and so beyond proud of you. I love you so much little bro.

xo,

-Your big sister Lex

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.
