11 Pros To Having A Brother
wallcoo.net

When I was younger, I always thought about how cool it would be to have a sister to share everything with. I only have a brother as a sibling and it comes with many struggles and annoyances, but then again so does every sibling. If you have a brother, then you know all about the struggle that comes with having one, but to many people, having a brother comes with many pros. It is interesting how that the gender of the sibling you grow up with can change your personality by a lot and how you view the world. I do not have a sister, so I only know what it is like having and growing up with a brother. My brother does get on my nerves some days, but I think that comes with having a sibling in general because I know for a fact that I am most certainly annoying to him as well. I love having a brother and throughout the years I have realized a few pros that come with having a brother.

1. Boys are less high maintenance than girls

Girls are very materialistic and harder to please than boys, so I know that anything I do for my brother, he will appreciate it.

2. Your clothes won't go missing from your closet.

If I had a sister, I would be sharing my clothes constantly and would end up losing some of them, so since I have a brother he usually doesn't borrow my clothes.


3. Your brother won't use your makeup.

My brother doesn't wear makeup, so I never have to share it.


4. You don't have to wait to use the bathroom in the morning to get ready since boys take less time.

My brother never spends a lot of time in the bathroom in the mornings, so I can have all the time I need.

5. Your brother can tell you if your outfit looks good from a guys perspective.

If I ever need advice on what looks good for my outfits I don't hesitate to ask my brother.


6. You're your mom's only daughter so you get spoiled.

My mom only has one daughter so she can splurge on me.


7. You never get your stuff mixed up.

My things and my brother's things never get mixed up because they are not similar.


8. Brothers are always protective over their sisters.

I know that my brother will always have my back.


9. Having a brother makes you competitive.

Having a brother has taught me to fight for what I want or believe in.


10. Brothers teach you to not be so sensitive.

My brother has taught me to not care about what others think.


11. They are always there for you.

I love having a brother and I can't imagine growing up with out him.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
