12 Pros And Cons Of Having A Sibling
Abigail Dutton

Siblings. Gotta love 'em right? Right! Well, to some extent that is. While there is no one else that understands you better than someone that has been stuck in the same gene pool as you, there also tends to be something irritating along with them. There are pros and cons to every sibling relationship, and I've come here to show them to you. The end.


1. Con: You're always doing more work than your brother/sister around the house.

The weirdest part about this one is that nobody else seems to notice that it's an issue but you. Huh.


2. Con: Your sibling never leaves you alone. When you want them to, at least.

Just pretend they don't exist?


3. Con: When your sibling cries to your parents and watches you get yelled at like:

Ugh. This irks me just to think about it.


4. Con: What's mine is (not) yours.

As I'm writing this, my sister is wearing my shirt.


5. Con: You get pranks pulled on you.

This is a terribly inevitable thing, yet payback tends to make it all worth it.


6. Con: Accidentally making them cry while fighting.

This is pretty much just an oops all together.


7. Con: When you're in trouble for fighting with you brother/sister and they act innocent.

Not to mention the look you give them that's filled with sudden death.


8. Con: Never being able to get in the shower without arguing about it.

I don't run so I don't win.


9. Con: Getting your seat stolen at the dinner table.

The everlasting game of who can be more stubborn.


10. Con: When there is always a little bit of blackmail going on...

And they act like they have no clue about all of the things you know!


11. Pro: Knowing that no matter what happens, your sibling will be there for you.

You didn't think there would be a pro, did you?


12. Like, really knowing.


This is the best pro to be honest.

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.
