15 Things You Know To Be True When Growing Up With A Lot Of Siblings
Rachel Zeko

I am one of eight children. To say that my house was a little chaotic at times while growing up would be an understatement. But one thing is for sure; there was never a dull moment in our house.

If you grew up with a lot of siblings, then I'm sure you will find the following to be true.

1. There is always someone in the bathroom.

2. There will always be someone around to watch a movie with.

3. You don't know what it feels like to have the house to yourself because there is always someone home.

4. Someone will always be able to quote different movie lines with you.

5. There is no such thing as leftovers in your household.

6. The food that you attempted to hide in the fridge was gone five minutes after hiding it.

7. No one can ever agree on one meal, so you are either forced to eat what is made or you don't eat.

8. You will forever have to share a room.

9. Your parents call out every other name before finally getting to yours.

10. You are always stuck being the babysitter for your younger siblings.

11. Your clothes are not only your clothes but your siblings' clothes as well.

12. Getting everyone together for a family photo is near impossible. And getting everyone to look somewhat normal for that picture is no doubt impossible.

13. You will always be referred to as so and so's brother or sister.

14. Your friends are also their friends. And you get mad when you come home to find your friends hanging out with your siblings.

15. You will always have a best friend.

But despite everything, you couldn't imagine your life without them.

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.
