11 Things You Know to be True if You Grew Up with Siblings
Stacey Labissiere

When you think back to the moment when you parents told you that you were going to have a younger sibling you were the world's most angry little kid. How dare they have another child, don't they realize that I am the best thing that they have, why would they need another. But after the birth of your younger sibling, you learned and realized that actually having a younger sibling isn't bad.... sometimes. There were plenty of times they made you want to scream, but you know that you wouldn't give them up for the world. Here are a few things you know to be true growing up with siblings.

1. That thing that you thought you "lost" was in their room the whole time

I cannot explain to you how many times I have thought I lost a shirt and then I have asked my sister if I could borrow a pencil and when I walk into her room I see my shirt hanging in her closet

2. Covering up the TV box so they couldn't change the channel because you were watching your show

Honestly, I don't think that doing that actually worked, but we were definitely determined as a kid to make sure we got to keep watching our show

3. Telling your sibling they could hit you back after you hit them too hard and they started to cry

4. When you are getting yelled at by your parents and you see your sibling laughing in the background

I. Will. End.You.

5. "If you tell on me then both of us will get in trouble."

One of the biggest lies told to us in our childhood.

6. "You guys look exactly alike"

Where.

7. Getting blamed for something that your younger sibling did

8. Having to hide your leftovers from a restaurant so your sibling didn't eat it

9. The feeling of superiority when you have been good and your parents yell at your sibling for being bad

Your parents telling your siblings that they should try to be more like you because you would never do what they just did.

10. They come in clutch when you run out of toilet paper

11. You can always count on them for a good laugh

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.
