21 Things You Know To Be True If You Have Older Brothers

I am the youngest of three older brothers. While I love having three older brothers, it can be crazy at times.

1. You are the butt of the jokes

2. You are always trying prove them wrong.


3. You're afraid to talk to them about boys and avoid the subject because they are over-protective

4. You'll think some of their friends are hot

5. You were dragged to all their football, basketball, or lacrosse games no matter the weather

6. You are always being compared by teachers to your brothers even though you are nothing alike


7. Your mother's worst fear is that you will marry one of your brother's crazy friends

8. You will know A LOT about how douchey guys can be

9. Their best-friends will feel like brothers and an addition to your family

10. They will hold onto something dumb you said when you were five and make fun of you for it for the rest of your life

11. You received hand-me-downs from their girlfriends

(I actually loved hand-me-downs from girlfriends because they had better and more expensive clothes than me.)

12. You will hear hilarious bar stories

13. You are accustomed to seeing guys in their boxers

14. They will always see you as their little innocent sister

15. You found 4/20 related items in their rooms

16. They or their friends have offered to beat up any guy that does you wrong

17. If they dropped you at school, they blasted their crazy rap music and you thought you were cool


18 .When they finally move out and get their own place, its fun to crash at their place and raid the drinks

19. You know all the rules to the sports your brothers played

20. You received hand-me-downs from your brothers even though they were for the opposite gender


21. People will tell you your brothers are hot and it's just awkward

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

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.
