Sometimes we're real close friends, we stay up late and talk at night, other times we don't get along, there are even times we fight. But I know she's always there, and I know she'll always care, she's my sister, I love my sister.

I thank God everyday for blessing me with two of the most amazing sisters I could ever ask for. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a sister but if you do have one then I'm sure you can agree with this list below. Sometimes we don't tell them how thankful we are for all that they do, so here's a nice little reminder.


1. She knows you better than you know yourself, and she believes in you when you feel like giving up.


2. She's always there to make fun of you when you mess up and to pick you up when you fall down (multiple times).


3. She already knows what you've been through and can offer advice that a parent or friend wouldn't be able too.


4. She's always down to go out and get food, or go shopping (especially if you offer to pay).


5. She's like a second mom because she only wants what's best for you and your future.


6. When you're embarrassing yourself on the dance floor she's right beside you cheering you on.


7. She's always there to pick up the pieces after a heartbreak because let's face it, it's going to happen once or twice... When you're hurting she's hurting just as much.


8. Let's not forget about sharing clothes... What's hers is yours and vice versa. You wouldn't want it any other way.


9. When you're apart for awhile it's the best feeling in the world when you're reunited for the first time.


10. She's the one person who's actually allowed to read your diary, even if you did say some mean things about her.


11. When you finally turn 21 she's more excited than you are because you can finally have a drink with her after all this time!


12. She always sticks up for you because at one point she was in your shoes. She's like your own personal body guard.


13. Last, but certainly not least, she's your better half and without her, you would be a hot mess.

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.
