Being the older sibling has it's ups and downs. Here are 15 things that you will most likely relate to if you were graced with the position of the "oldest".

1. From the minute your younger sibling was born, you loved them, but you knew you would be the boss.

2. Growing up, you got the blame for everything. Getting in trouble by the cute, secret mastermind younger siblings was nothing out of the ordinary.

3. You turn around for 1 minute and most of your clothes magically appeared in their closets.

4. Or when you borrow their clothes and World War 3 has begun.

5. When you get into a fight with your younger sibling and they start to cry, you knew it was all over.


6. But it’s okay because it’s your picture that appears most in the family scrapbooks.

7. You would bribe them to do things for you when you were too lazy.

8. You always deserve to sit in the front seat when going out, and you actually get salty when your younger sibling takes it.

9. Being the oldest, you were the natural born boss…and considered to be the bossiest person alive by your younger siblings.

10. You were the designated baby sitter when your parents weren’t around.

11. You always got in trouble when you wouldn’t let your sibling hang out with you and your friends.

12. You went through everything first, therefore always making it easier on your younger siblings.

13. Parents are always stricter with you.


14. You were pressured to always put up a good example for your siblings, just because you were older.

15. But at the end of the day, you would do anything to protect them and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

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.
