14 Perks of Having Older Sisters
Life to Lens Photography by Lauren Smith

What's so great about having an older sister you ask?

1. She is always there to tell you the truth.

She tells you if you're being a complete diva, and then she puts you in your place.


2. She protects you.

If someone ever tries to mess with you, she will not tolerate it .


3. She truly loves and cares about you.

No matter how hard that may be at times. Tough love is the best kind!!

4. She is the prefect shopping partner & you get to share closets.

Thank God I have someone to tell me if the outfit I am trying on makes me look like a Beluga whale. Plus, if I have nothing to wear, boom, I have two other closets to shop in. She is also the person who steals you clothes, and then doesn't return them...but ya gotta love em'.

5. Her advice is like the HOLY GRAIL.

I mean, they have probably experienced what I am going through already, so they know exactly what to say.

6. She is always there for you.

Even if they aren't good at comforting, at least they try.

7. They always know exactly what you're thinking without you having to say a word.


When someone is trying to hit on you, and you give your sister the "Please save me" look...She knows whats up.


8. You have someone to teach you how to apply makeup and curl your hair.


Because, sometimes, you're just doing it wrong.

9. You always have someone to back you up.

When mom is acting nuts, and you just need someone to help you out. Sisters always have your back when someone calls you out, because "Bitches be crazy."

10. She keeps your diet in check.

Thank goodness I will forever have workout buddies, and someone to tell me if I gained weight.


11. But she is also the person you low-key

binge eat with.

Sisters are totally the ones you bump into in the pantry at 12:00 AM on the hunt for chocolate.

12. She helps you in school.

She likely already took all of the classes that you are having trouble with, and she can help you. Blessed.

13. She shares in your dreams with you.

They never stop believing in you, even when you think that your dreams are unobtainable. They will help you to achieve your dreams, because they share in your dreams with you.

14. She is your forever friend.


At the end of the day, sisters are one of the greatest blessings that God has bestowed on us. Wether they are blood-related, or just best friends that feel like sisters; they are God's gift to creation for sure.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
