When A Big Studies Abroad

Dedicated to my Big Angel

When A Big Studies Abroad
Alexa Caplinger

Dear Big,

So, September 5th is a lot closer now, which means that you'll be flying off to London, England. I will already be back at school and in the sorority house this year. I'm really excited, but a piece of me will be missing. It's only a semester, I know, but it will feel like an eternity.

There will be so much that we will miss out on as we part ways this semester, but you will only be an international FaceTime away and there's always GroupMe too. We can do it. I believe in us. I mean, we somehow managed to stay away from each other all summer until your birthday.

I want to send you off with some things to remember. I will always be your Little. No matter how far apart we are, I will still manage to bother you with my problems and craziness. I will send you loads of snapchats out of boredom and sing to you like I always do. I'll send you so many pictures once I receive my Jersey with my awesome nickname "Smooth Criminal."

I promise to bother Grandbig and Great Grandbig too while you're not around. I also promise that when you get back for the spring semester, I will hopefully make you a Grandbig as well. Now, I have some requests for you.

Promise me that you'll send me loads of tourist-y snap chats and pictures. Promise me that you will still manage to study hard considering you're still attending school while you're there. I hope you get to visit Brighton, England while you're there as it's absolutely gorgeous. I hope you get to shop at Tesco's and Primark and live a whole semester's worth of British-ness. Enjoy some Cadbury chocolate, biscuits, chips, and all the delicious British goodies!

Promise me one last thing and I'll promise you something back. Promise me that you will have the time of your life, not a worry in the world, (and maybe if you come across some British YouTubers have them hit me up), but most of all do BIG things. I promise you that I will rep my nickname proud and that our bond will be even stronger when you return.

Love,

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.
