To My First Little

The only thing better than getting a Bid is getting a Big.

Dear Little Bit,

You’re probably going through recruitment right now trying to make it through the rest of the day in your wedges while trying to get through this lovely Georgia weather. I went through the same thing and trust me, it was all worth it at the end. Having a second family in college is what will get you through the good times, the bad times, and everything in between. We may meet at Open Rounds, or Bid Day, or at our first sisterhood event. Just know that I can’t wait to have you in my family.

The best thing other than getting a Bid is getting a Big. I’m going to let you in on a secret- I’ll be your best and worst influence. I’ll be the one that drags your butt out of bed to go shopping in Atlanta. I’m always calling you to make sure you’re in class and on time. I’ll always be there to go on lunch dates to Cookout every week. And go to Zumba with you to shed off the pounds afterwards. My closet is your closet whenever you can't find anything to wear, as long as you bring stuff back in one piece. I'll be your Netflix Binge Buddy when you want to watch Grey's or One Tree Hill. I promise to always buy you food when you're broke, unless I'm broke, then we have to resort to East Commons.

I’ll stay up with you to help you study for your chemistry final and you’ll always have a spot in my bed to sleep at the house. Your Grand-Big and Aunts will spoil you for your birthdays and we'll go on spontaneous road-trips together. When you need a date for formal, I'm your go-to matchmaker. When some frat guy is messing with you, I got your back and will not hesitant kicking his butt.

But most importantly, you’re going to basically be my first kid. I will be your motivator, your cheerleader, your go-to, your confidant. Your guide on campus, your dance partner, and your therapist. The college years are going to be hard but the way you get through them is having amazing people by your side to hold your hand along the way. I love you so much already and I can’t wait to share so many memories with you.

XOXO,

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.

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.
