So. Many. Girls.

11 Things You Understand If You Live With Sisters
Resources1

In a house full of girls, there is just so much damn estrogen, so many freakin' bras and not to mention all of these things listed below that are just the norm when you live with sisters.

1. So. Much. Hair.

It’s in the drain and on the shower wall, in the car and all over the brushes. It’s everywhere and it's gross. You genuinely fear something could be lost in the clump.

2. A crowded shower.

It looks like the cosmetics aisle in the supermarket with seven face washes, eight razors, 10 shampoos and 12 conditioners. And there's always some tone-deaf singing happening, too.

3. The subtweets are so real.

Except they are never on Twitter. Sisters are vicious. They will make comments right at the dinner table about that piercing you got your parents don't know about.

4. "OMG are you guys triplets?"

No, you idiot, there are actually seven years between us. Try again.

5. Borrows clothes without asking is basically WWIII.

God save us all.

6. The stench of flats.

You can't leave those things anywhere. They can take down a small army in the middle of the winter. But in July, they could easily put to rest a small country with one whiff.

7. The value of self defense.

Girls can be b*itches.

8. The art of scheming.

Whether it is scheming against each other, against your parents or anyone for that matter. Everything requires an elaborate plan with 14 backups, even if it's a run to the store.

9. The nail polish bin.

The concept of owning "your own" nail polish is just about as foreign as the concept of doing your own nails.

10. Braiding.

Side braid, waterfall braids, pig tail braids, headband braids. You name it and we can do them flawlessly after years and probably some tears later.

11. The high presence of bras.

When girls run the house (and the world), it is more than common to be greeted in just a bra and hopefully some pants. If they aren't in the bra, you can probably still see it somewhere. There is an extreme lack of modesty.

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.
