11 Reasons Why Having A Big Sister Is The Best
Eliza Farrell

Even though we drive each other crazy and disagree half the time, my big sister is my life's greatest blessing. She has been my best friend, and sometimes my only friend, for as long as I can remember. From sleeping in bunk-beds to living in different countries, she has always been there for me. There are so many reasons why having an older sister is the best, but here's 110.

1. She supports you, always.

She doesn't have to agree with your decisions, but you know she'll always be rooting for you.

2. She puts things into perspective.

When you're stressed because you tried to take on too many things, she'll be the first to tell you to take it slow.

3. She gives the best advice.

She's older than you, so pretty much everything you're going through, she's already done.

4. She's the perfect rainy-day buddy.

Who better to build forts like a kid with than someone who helped you build them when you were seven?

5. She gives the best gifts.

Because she's known you the longest, she knows what you want (and what mom is already getting you).

6. You can talk to her about anything.

Your older sister is more like your friend. It's almost her job to listen to your problems.

7. She'll drop anything to help you.

Whether you're hurt, sick or just out of money, she'll do whatever she can to be there.

8. She checks up on you.

Your mom calls every Sunday, but your sister calls you everyday.

9. She makes you want to be a better person.

You've seen what she's gone through and how hard she has worked, so you naturally want to be just like her.

10. She makes everything seem more fun.

Those 10 hour drives to go see family never seem boring when you're french-braiding your sister's hair in the back seat.

11. She'll always be there.

Not only because she has to be, but she loves you unconditionally, so you know she'll never be too far.

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.
