11 Things Only Sisters Understand
Bailey Cooper

Growing up with a sister can be rough at times, but most of the time it's like having an endless sleepover with your best friend. It's nice knowing that you never have to go through life alone, and having someone there to enjoy the good times and embrace the bad times with you makes life a little more blissful. If you have sisters, I am sure you can relate to the following;

You are brutally honest about how they look.

“You should probably put on a different shirt and maybe wear a different color lipstick.” And you know they will be honest with you, too.

You know all of their “looks.”

The “wtf” look, the “that guy was cute” look, the “do not embarrass me” look, the “let’s leave” look, and my all time favorite… The "oh my gosh, did she really just say that?" look.

You cant go anywhere without someone asking if you're twins.

“Oh are you guys twins”?! No, actually were 6 years apart… by now we should just make signs to wear around our necks.

Face swap or nah?

They will “like” everything of yours on social media.

It’s like… their job. Whether it be a selfie or some inspirational quote you found on pinterest, you better freaking believe she will like it.

Need an outfit? No problem.

Those days when you feel like you have nothing to wear… Just step on into your sister’s closet. It will always feel like she has 10x cuter clothes than you do, and then you get to act like you're on an epsiode of "Who wore it better".

You will always have a plan B.

Not that my sister is ever a backup plan, and quite honestly I’d spend a night in watching netflix and eating junk food with her over any other plans anytime! BUT, if ever your plans fall through, she’s always up to do something fun!

She’s your dating guru.

She’s always trying to hook you up. With the waiter, with the cute guy on Facebook, or the guy from back home you’ve always thought was a hunk. She also reassures you that you can do way better than all of your ex’s, and constantly reminds you not to open those doors again. She makes you realize how you deserve to be treated.


You get to be each others maid of honors!

You’re probably happier than she is when she finally gets engaged, too. Going to 12 different bridal boutiques to find the perfect dress, Pinteresting all hours of the day, and crafting for months on end is what sisters are for. It makes you happy seeing her happy, and what more could you ask for?

You will always have someone to ugly cry to.

After a break up, a sad episode of Greys Anatomy, or when you're just feelin' a little dramatic. She will always be there to listen to you vent.

Your parents can’t keep your names straight.

It might happen so often that you find yourself questioning your identity…

You will always have a best friend!

Honestly, even if we weren’t sisters, I’d still wanna be your friend… you're just that cool.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

WP content

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.
