To My Big Brother,

Three years ago, on the first day of college, you welcomed me into your life with open arms. Entering college was an incredibly intimidating time for me. I didn't know many people and I was looking to find my way, just like everyone else. Little did I know, it wouldn't take me longer than a day to become great friends with one of the most incredible people in my life to this day, you.

For the past three years, you have watched me grow into the person that I am today. When I fell down, you were there to pick me up. When I needed a shoulder to cry on, you were happy to be that for me. When I needed someone to listen, your ears were always open. When I needed you most, you were consistently by my side. You have always pushed me to be better than I was yesterday and now it's my turn to push you. Together, we have shared our failures, achievements, and dreams. And now, your biggest dream is about to become your reality.

A week ago, you departed for New York City for a HUGE interview as a Stock Trader on none other than Wall Street. I remember the day we met clear as day. Shortly after introducing yourself, you told me "Some day I'm going to make something of myself. I'll be the biggest man on Wall Street." It's funny how life works out sometimes. You are by far the most well educated, passionate, and driven person I have ever met. Without a doubt in my mind, I knew you'd ace the interview with flying colors.

It was no surprise when I received an overly excited phone call just a few short hours after the interview. "I DID IT!" When I say that in that moment I had never been more proud of you, I swear to you it's true. You have worked your entire life to get to where you are today and I know in my heart that you WILL succeed. As you depart for New York City next week, just know that I will always be rooting for you. Remember to take this opportunity, run with it, and don't look back. You've made it.

You're going to do great things and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you. Never forget, I'll always be your biggest fan. So here's to the next chapter... I wish you nothing but the best.

"Follow your dreams and the universe will open doors for you where there were only windows."

XOXO,

Your Little Sis

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.
