To My Sorority Big Sis

Anyone in a sorority will know what I mean when I say I couldn't live without my Big.

To My Sorority Big Sis

Big,

When I first came to college I had no intention of joining a sorority. I had all the negative ideas about Greek life in my head from movies and the news. I didn't realize that sororities and fraternities have philanthropies that they're actively involved in and helping one another with. I didn't realize that there was more to them than some fancy letters and this crazy idea of sisterhood and brotherhood with kids that were strangers last week. I didn't realize that there was more to college than going to class and living in a dorm.

I can honestly say that joining our sorority changed my life for the better. I remember joining and not fully understanding what it means to have a Big or to be one. Even on reveal I was still unsure of what our relationship would entail and mean to me. Now, I cannot understand how I thought that I could get through college without you. You've opened my eyes to so much and have been my shoulder to cry on. You've been the person to keep me sane when I'm stressed and the person who I hold no secrets from. We've spent many late nights in your car talking over everything and catching up. You've become my favorite person to hug and the woman that can accept me in every state of my attitude and looks.

As my Big, you have become one of my role models. I look up to you and everything you do. I wasn't sure how this relationship would work out but I am so proud to be your Little. For people not in a sorority it's hard to explain such a bond yet it happens so fast and for so many good reasons. I am so proud of all that you have accomplished and all that you strive to be. I know that success will come to you and in times when it gets rough I will always be here for you. I love you lots and lots. Getting to call you my sister is awesome, but getting to call you my Big is incredible.

XoXi,

Little

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.
