1. They start to smell.

Remember the smell of innocence of your baby brother? Well, not anymore. He now smells like rotten onion.

2. They start to swear.

Woah, did I just heard that correctly? Where did you learn those? You know that is not nice, just… don’t say those around mom.

3. They suddenly think you are not cool anymore.

What do you mean you don’t want to binge watch 5 seasons of "Teen Wolf" with me? It was like our thing.

4. They reject any sign of affection from you.

Don’t push me away! I just want to give you a hug… ew? What do you mean ew? No I am not gross. Come back here!

5. They become stronger than you.

Remember when your brother was being an idiot and you would just slap him in the head? Well now if you do that you will end up with a black eye.

6. They are taller than you.

Wait… since when are you taller than me? I have to look up to you now? For real? But last week I swear you were shorter than me.

7. They start shaving.

What? You have to shave? Wait you are only like 8…right? Aren’t you too young to be shaving? Doesn’t that happen when you are like 20 or something like that?

8. They start dating.

A date? Oh like you are going with a group of friends and some girls. No? What do you mean no? a date as in alone? But you haven’t hit puberty in my head.

9. They get your problems.

You’re really good with advice, I should come to you more often.

10. They still love you even if you are their annoying older sibling.

Yes, I love you too… Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone you said it.

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.
