To My Sisters

Dear Sisters,

At this time last year, I didn’t know the majority of you. Last fall I contemplated joining a sorority, and I had many questions about what it would bring to me. Now, after just 8 months since joining a sorority, I have found many amazing things. You, my sisters, are at the top of that list.

I have known you all for less than a year, and I still find myself asking how I managed to survive without you. You have brought a light into my life that I didn’t know I was missing. As sappy and cliché as it may sound, I am a better person because of you. I hope you know that.

Life would be boring without you. There is nothing better than a night out with you all. You never let me dance alone. You stay in and order a pizza with me when I don’t feel like going anywhere. I have laughed more in one night with you than I think I ever have in my life before you came along. Our endless heart-to-hearts, study breaks at Wells and football games will always be some of my favorite memories.

You matter. Never let anyone tell you otherwise. You are so important. Everything you do is important. College can be tough, it can be hell actually, but never let it get the best of you. I know that all of you are going to do amazing things. Remember that. I’ll remind you every day if I must. You matter.

You are SO beautiful!!!!!! Inside and out. I am in awe of each of your amazing qualities. You are some of the nicest, sweetest and most down to earth women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Your intelligence rubs off on me, your kindness warms my heart and your determination makes me want to be better; to do better.

Thank from the bottom of my heart for all of this and more.

Thank you for the countless laughs we have shared, for keeping me up all night talking about anything and everything. Our friendship shows no boundaries. Thank you for never letting me eat alone or go to bed feeling sad. You have silently sat with me while I’ve cried. You know that you don’t even have to say anything, because you being there for me no matter what speaks louder than words ever could. Thank you for loving me at 11pm when I am dressed up or at 11am when I have just rolled out of bed. I am never afraid to come to you with my problems because I know that you have my back at any time of the day, any day of the week. You have me. Thank you for being my forever friends, and thank you for your reassurance that you will always be here.

Thank you for showing me the meaning of true friendship. I have always wanted such friendships.

Now I do.

Love Forever and Always,

Your sister.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
