10 Facts Of Having An Older Sister
Samantha Smith

Being a younger sister is a blessing and a curse. You are always looking towards your older sister for direction and hating every minute of it. However, being the younger sister also has its perks. You always have someone there that is just as weird as you, and you have grown to appreciate her so much.

1. You will always be the baby.

Whether you are graduating college or having children, you will be called immature for the rest of your life.


2. You have an ally at family events.

When you need someone to save you from that weird family member, you know your sister will have your back.


3. You have someone to tell you the honest truth.

Whether you are wearing an ugly shirt, or you need some honest advice, your older sister will definitely be the one to fill you in.


4. You know that she is secretly evil.

Even though she thinks that you are the evil one.


5. You have two moms.

From the moment you were born, your older sister has taken the role as second mommy.


6. You are always being compared.

Whether you look alike or not, you are constantly explaining that you are two different people.



7. You have thick skin.

After years of fighting with your older sister, nobody can mess with you.



8. You have pretended to be in a girl band.

There is nothing better than badly harmonizing in the car and convincing yourselves that you could have been famous.


9) You have someone to suffer through the awkward years with.

And you are so thankful you didn't have to try out those new trends alone.


10) You always have someone to give you a pep talk.

When you are feeling sad, you know there is only one person who truly knows what to say.

All in all, your sister is basically a built-in best friend. You used to fight all the time, but you learned to really appreciate each other. Through the good times and bad, you know that you would never give up your sisterly bond.

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.
