To My Sister Who Happens To Be A Senior In High School
Alexa Levin

Dear my little sister who happens to be a senior in high school,

Homecoming is over, yet graduation is practically a lifetime away.

Oh how I wish I could be in your position again. I remember senior year like it was yesterday. Counting down the days until graduation and praying to get accepted into my dream school, it was most definitely the best year of my life.

Every month there was something to look forward to. Senior year is filled with old friends, new friends, homecoming that you work so hard for to win, senior banquet, spring break with your best friends, senior cut day, you name it it was fun.

The last day of school it starts to hit you. This is the last day you'll be in the same building with all of these people at once. You grew up with them, cried with them, laughed with them and supported them. Though, some you never quite conversed with; you still feel like you're connected with them. I mean, you have been in school with them for the past 13 years.

Senior year... it goes by quicker than the weekend. There is so much fun, so much love, so much excitement it's gone in the blink of an eye.

Prom can be the best couple of hours of your life or after prom is when it gets good. You're constantly laughing, constantly thankful to be a senior but constantly ready to leave this place to refer to as jail, or whatever else you came up with since I graduated.

To my sister, who wishes high school over every second of every day...please stop. I envy you and sometimes catch myself vicariously living through your snapchats or your Instagram posts because jeez do I wish I could be in your place.

Enjoy your friends being a two minute drive down the highway, enjoy the minimal workload, enjoy the teachers who remind you daily of how quick this year will fly by.

You make me so proud, I am so excited to see what this year brings for you, I wish I could be in senior year again, I love you.

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.
