15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.

15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

1. You have less than any understanding on how to do makeup.

The first time I ever wore makeup my brother said to me, "What is that black stuff all over your eyes." And from then on I decided I would stick to the extreme basics because I had no idea what I was doing.


6. You never got to eat your leftovers

In my house, if the leftovers were not in a tupperware with a very threatening and aggressive message on it, they were fair game for whoever found them.


7. You may consider yourself girly, but you will always be a tomboy at heart.

You may wear dresses and skirts and heels, but lets be honest, there is nothing like some sweatpants and a sweatshirt (that you may or may not have stole from your brothers).


8. Sometimes you wish you had a sister but then you remember real quick how grateful you are to be the only girl.

Certain instances lead you to maybe wish you only had sisters, but then you realize that with all girls comes a lot more fighting, crying, etc.


9. You understand the male species a little bit more.


10. You are the brutally honest friend.

Your brothers never sugar coated anything they said to you, no matter how blunt it was. So, neither do you.


11. You are the responsible one.

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.


12. You developed thicker skin.

You and you brothers called each other every mean/rude thing under the sun. So anything said to you by somebody else didn't phase you.


13. Someone always had your back.

The only people that could be mean to you and get away with it was one of them. Anyone else had to answer to them.


14. You know exactly who to call if you need anything

No matter where they are or what they may be doing, you can always call one of you brothers to help you with anything or to come pick you up.


15. You will always have a love-hate relationship with your brothers, but the love will always outweigh the hate.

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.
