To My Not So Little Sister...

You may be taller, but I will always be older.

To My Not So Little Sister...
Elizabeth Schorr

To my little sister,

You aren't even that little anymore, considering you are about to enter your senior year of high school, which just typing that sentence alone that blows my mind. Also, to be completely fair, I doubt you'll even read this because you are still in the phase where everything I do is so embarrassing to you, but secretly I know you love me! But realistically, you'll blame it on camp and being unplugged for 23 hours every day. You have become the best person in my life over the past few years, and I think its simply because you get me. You get my weird obsessions, my love of television (even though yours is WAY more), our love of all things camp, and the bond we will share for the rest of time.

You are so dedicated to becoming a better person every day which amazes me. You study your butt off every night after school so that you can get the best grade in every class. Even though you don't even need to try, you shock me when you come back and say you only got one question wrong on an AP English test that I barely passed in high school. You always try your best at soccer, a sport that you aren't going pro for, no offense, but that doesn't stop you from loving the sport on and off the field. You know everything about the USA Women's team, and could talk to Dad about the sport for hours, which I sit there and nod my head as if I know anything about it. You are so dedicated to beat Mom and I at the game of watching WAY to much television, and yo can basically check all of Netflix off your list. You know all the best movies to binge on a boring weekend at home, and could aslo probably list every single movie and show youv'e seen in your lifetime. That is probably the most impressive thing on your list of characteristics.

You are also my ride or die best friend. Even though you may not care when I sit and complain about something, and then proceed to kick me out of your room in a screaming match of 'LEAVE ME ALONE' (it's okay btw), I know hours later we could be back sitting and laughing at some stupid Vine video and talking about pointless things neither of us know anything about. You are going to do amazing things one day, and I know that for a fact.

Even if you don't come to FSU with me, as long as you never wear orange and blue, I'll still tell people you're my sister.

Love you longtime LB.

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.
