When You Give A 'Little' A 'Big'
Carly Halitzer

To My Big,

Thank you for all you do for me. I may not seem appreciative, but I honestly do not know where I would be without you.

You of all people know that I am hard to deal with, but you always put up with me no matter what. Now, you are stuck with me and I hope you are ok with that because I am never leaving you. I am forever grateful that I found you out of the sea of girls because you are the one who is able to make me stay.

Without you, I would not be here. You have helped me transition into the sorority life because you and I both know that I am (still) not even a sorority girl, but having you around makes that a lot easier. If I had never found you I do not think that I would still be in a sorority. I am a non-sorority girl in a total sorority world and you are making it easier for me. You are my favorite part of being in a sorority.

I am not the kind of girl who likes to call people her “family” or “sister.” Honestly, though, you are like the family that I get to choose. I know I can always come to you and you will be there for me. Sometime, I know, I can be quite the downer when it comes to sorority things, but I hope I do not dissapoint you. All I do for the part of our sisterhood is for you. I hope I make you proud and you are happy to have me in your life because I am beyond happy to have you in mine.

There was always part of me missing and now I have found that is you. When I am happy you are the first one I want to tell. When I am sad you are the shoulder I want to cry on. You are always there for me through the good and the bad times and will always go above and beyond for me.

I even appreciate you through all the hard times; when you lied to me that you were not my big and I cried for days not even wanting to go to big/little reveal because I knew that we were the perfect pair from day one. We go together like the way a baseball fits inside a glove.

You have made the adjustment to a new school with a new life easier for me.

Thank you for coming into my life and thank you for being you. I appreciate you more than I can ever put into words and I will love you always.

Love, Your 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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
