Lessons My Big Taught Me

The Big-Little relationship is one that can never be replaced. Your Big was probably the sole reason why you joined your sorority in the first place or the reason you stayed. She most likely taught you many life lessons like how to survive college life while also corrupting you in the process. Here are some of the things that my Big taught me.

1. How to dress for every. single. sorority event. "Wait, we have to wear all black?"

2. When to fake taking that shot that otherwise would put you way over the edge.

3. ... And when to take that shot because “It's Saturday night."

4. How to have the perfect social outfit that draws a thin line between being clever, classy, funny and cute. And matching is even better.

5. To not take Friday classes in general.

6. That if a guy seems like he's bad news, he probably is.

7. That your closet will never compare to hers.

8. That you will never regret a “What are you going to wear tonight?” text. "Are we dressing cute or like casual cute?"

9. That showers take too long and dry shampoo holds better than hairspray anyway.

10. You will not regret taking A TON of pictures. "Let's do a laughing one"

11. That Saturdays are for day drinking … and Sundays are for movies.

12. That getting a little TOO into a social theme is never a bad thing. "Did you just draw a mustache on yourself?" "Yes."

13. That ordering a double is just economical.

14. To smile at the people that don't like you. We've all got haters.

15. That you can always find liquor at a “We only have beer." party.

16. That sometimes you just need buffalo chicken dip and a night in.

17. To NEVER forget your glasses that you need for class at home.

18. To walk into every place confidently.

19. That doing you is a great characteristic.

20. That ALL people make mistakes.

21. And that it's okay to make them.

22. That sometimes things take time. Friendships, relationships and especially Big Mamas lines.

23. That everything happens for a reason. Clearly, you didn’t end up as Big and Little by chance.

You're the best Big!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
