Hopes For My Little Sister
Elizabeth Aroune

Dear Sister,

You have already become so beautifully unique in your young life, but as your big sis, I have so many wishes for your years to come.

I hope you have a long and eventful life. Where I want you to be able to develop routine, I also want you to be able to hold the freedom of spontaneity. I want you to adventure and explore the world, hopefully with me by your side for some of those adventures.

I hope you hold the power of your life. I don’t ever want you to feel trapped- in a job, a relationship, or any other situation. I want you to know that you are the maker of your own destiny, so write your story, and don’t forget your happy ending. Your life may not always seem like the fairy tales you’ve watched growing up, but your life is up to you. I hope you are willing to change what you don’t like and accept what you cannot change and learn to grow from there.

I hope you never have to hurt terribly. Pain will force you to learn lessons, sometimes lessons that you have been painstakingly avoiding. So in that aspect, pain is alright to bear. Pain can be beautiful because it will force you to blossom and grow. But I never want you to suffer so much pain where you feel paralyzed in fear or stuck in your situation. Pain will always end and I hope you can realize that as you endure it because it is inevitable.

I hope you find the love in yourself. You are absolutely stunning inside and out because you are you. You are an original collectible in mint condition. You are beautiful and one of a kind and no one besides you gets to decide what you become. I hope you see that. This being said I hope you also find someone who inspires you to love yourself. I hope this person brags about you so you really hear it, so you really hear how great you are. You don’t need another person but yourself, but some reiteration goes a long way.

I hope you find yourself and I hope you love yourself. I hope you never lose your way but if you do I hope you can find your way back to your path quickly. I hope you never lose sight of your end goal. I hope you never apologize for who you are. I hope you always remember you have a support system on your side because you always will have me in your corner. I hope you never forget how the Sun rises each morning, and that you have the power to make an impact on someone every single day.

I hope you never let your shine be eclipsed. I hope you always stand up for what you believe in, no matter how small it may seem. I hope you fall in love with your life, and never stop loving it.

Love,

Your Big Sis

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
