To A Senior On Bid Day

Why be moody if you can shake your booty?

To A Senior On Bid Day

The first last of your sorority's final events, senior year Bid Day, has been something you've been both dreading and looking forward to since you were a freshman walking into your new chapter. Now that you're an old pro, being a senior on Bid Day means rocking your theme to the extreme, wild dancing, and an insane amount of pictures. Tears will probably be shed, but don't let that distract you from the celebration. Take pictures with people you haven't been too close with, both within your new member class and not. These people are the ones who have seen you at your 2 a.m. night before Preference Round, and still love you. Add a ton of pictures onto your Snapchat story for the heck of it, and request "Wanna Be" for the 100th time.

But most importantly, focus on the new member class walking through the doors and looking younger than you ever think you did freshman year (but trust me, you looked that young too). Senior, try and remember how put together, old, and intimidating you may seem to these new members, and go out of your way to make them feel comfortable. Dance with them, show them how to throw up their sorority sign, and offer to take their picture. Learn their names and welcome them into your home, for they will be the legacy you are leaving behind in just a few short months.

Senior, for one day forget about the stress that leaving college, career fairs, and seminars create in your final year of college and go back to the moment you opened your bid and joined your chapter, your home. Instead of being sad and nostalgic about celebrating your final Bid Day, revel in the joy that new members will be able to create the same amazing memories you have throughout these years.

And remember, "it isn't four years, it's for life."
(Yes, I groaned whenwriting it too, but its true!!!!)

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.
