13 Things Older Sisters Give To Little Sisters
Julia Baldwin

There's nothing like the relationship between sisters. They laugh with you, cry with you, and sometimes make you want to pull your hair out, but ultimately they're your true best friend. Here are few things that big sisters give to their little sisters:

1. Old school work and SAT/ACT help

Note to all younger sisters: Make your older sister save all of her old AP work so for you it will be a breeze.

2. Hand-me-downs

Older sisters can give their little sisters all of their old clothes--but this doesn't stop them from going into the older sister's closet to steal her new ones.

3. Competition

The fight over who the favorite daughter is lives on. Sisters are constantly in competition with one another but it keeps things interesting.

4. A shoulder to cry on

When you have a sister, you almost always have someone who understands you and will be there for you in a time of need.

5. ...And a punching bag

Of course, sisters fight, and they often take out completely unrelated anger or stress on one another. Or, one just made a really rude comment and World War III breaks out.

6. Friend advice

An older sister is the best person to help you figure out who your real friends are, and who are not. They've been through it all when it comes to friendships.

7. Boy advice

Older sisters want the best for their younger sisters, especially when it comes to guys. Sisters are there for all of the breakups and broken hearts.

8. Parent advice

The older sister is the guinea pig for everything when it comes to what makes parents happy and what makes them mad, and they can pass this knowledge on.

9. Outfit advice

Your sister is one of the only people in the world who will be 100% brutally honest when you ask her if these pants make you look fat.

10. Makeup advice

Older sisters didn't have anyone to tell them that sparkly blue eyeshadow is not okay to wear on your first day of high school.

11. Instagram advice

Me and my sister's text message conversations consist of little conversation and a lot of pictures sent back and forth captioned "Which one?"

12. Funny stories

Especially true for pairs of sisters in which one goes to college, older sisters can bring back hilarious (and often embarrassing) stories to entertain their little sister with.

13. A best friend

An older sister is a built-in best friend for life.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

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.
