15 Things Every Younger Sibling Is Tired Of Hearing
Christine Robinson

If you're the youngest sibling in your family, then you understand the struggle. So many questions, comparisons, expectations that only happen because you're the youngest one. You love it and hate it at the same time. As the younger sibling, you're almost guaranteed to hear these:

1. "Are you Nick's sister?"

As a matter of fact, yes I am, BUT I HAVE A NAME.

2. "You look just like your brother/sister."

Well, that would make sense considering we're related.

3. "Are you majoring in _____ just like your brother/sister?"

Actually, no I am not. I'm my own person. We have different interests.

4. "How is your brother/sister?"

Oh they're doing really good!! But I'm doing totally fine, thanks for asking.

5. "Do you know where your brother/sister is?"

Sorry, no I don't but I'm sure if you ask him/her they'll tell you.

6. "Your brother/sister is so hot."

PLEASE don't talk to me about this.

7. "Your brother/sister wasn't allowed to do that at your age."

Well... just because they couldn't means I also can't?

8. "I taught your brother/sister also! I bet you're as good of a student as they were."

There's a possibility I may disappoint you.

9. "Will you be the DD for my friends and I?"

If it results in me getting free food, then I might consider it.

10. "I remember when me and your brother/sister..."

If the story doesn't involve me then I can almost promise that at some point I'll stop listening.

11. "Can you text your brother/sister and tell them..."

Please don't make me do it. It's so much easier if you do it yourself.

12. "Is this your shirt or is it your brother's/sister's?"

It's mine. Okay yeah, it may be three times bigger than the size I usually wear, but it's comfortable.

13. "You and your brother/sister are total opposites."

Not sure if I should take that as a compliment or not, but yes we are totally different. Thank you for noticing.

14. "I saw your brother/sister the other day!"

Oh yeah? I'm not entirely sure what to say back so I'm just going to awkwardly shake my head and pretend to be so interested that you saw him/her.

15. Getting referred to by their name instead of yours.

Come on... my name isn't that hard to remember.

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.

WP content

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.
