20 Perks Of Having An Older Sister
Ally Rosenfeld

When I was younger, I would constantly complain to my parents about having an older sister. I would ask ridiculous questions such as, "Why does she get first pick on dessert and why does she get to choose which Barbie doll she wanted to play with before me?" The two of us would fight about the silliest of things when we were children, but over the years we have grown to not only tolerate each other, but we also have learned the value of having a sister. Honestly, my sister is my best friend, and where would I be without her?


20 reasons why having an older sister is truly a blessing:

1. You automatically have a second wardrobe. No, really, two times the clothing.

2. She's there for you whenever you need to vent about anything.. especially crappy breakups with boyfriends.

3. She's there when you need her to cover your back from your parents.

4. There's nothing to hide from her, since she's literally known you your entire life.

5. When the two of you are stuck in an awkward situation, she's there to talk to you and make it feel more normal.

6. There are endless amounts of inside jokes.

7. Even though you may fight a lot, your friendship never truly ends. It's a bond for life.

8. She's always down to get food with you or go for a quick Starbucks run.

9. Automatic gym buddy.

10. People mistake you for one another, but that's OK because she's gorgeous!

11. The caption "sista-sista" is socially acceptable due to the fact that she is literally your sister.

12. You love and hate the same people.

13. In case of an emergency, she knows all imperative information about you.

14. She's been around longer than you, therefore she gives great advice on how to approach the world at hand.

15. She does her best to protect you from any types of sticky situations.

16. Her annoying comments have now become wise words of wisdom and you finally appreciate them.

17. Although very frustrating on numerous occasions, she is an automatic bodyguard by your side.

18. She helps you improve your weaknesses, and she praises you on your strengths.

19. Her shoulder is your shoulder to cry on in any circumstance.

20. And, lastly, you have friendship that is infinite.


Love you sissaaay!

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.
