5 Reasons Why I Am Thankful For My Older Siblings
Julia Trout

Thanks for being ones that I can constantly look up to!

Growing up, you three were the ones that I dreamed of becoming just like when I was older. At a younger age, everything you guys did I imagined doing too; playing basketball, working at the same places you did, excelling in school, going to college and being successful. Whether you realized it or not, you all are the reason I am molded into the person I am today. Your guys’ determination, hard work, great attitudes, incredible personality’s and love and respect towards everyone has been my constant drive. Every time you guys had an achievement or made a huge jump forward, that only encouraged me to do the same! Watching you guys continue to chase your dreams and accomplish your lifetime goals has been beyond amazing to witness over the years. Continue doing you! You guys are doing great!

Thanks for being ones that I can always count on for absolutely anything.

People have come and disappeared over the years but at the end of the day, I know I can always count on the three of you for anything and everything. Growing up, I could count on you for someone to play basketball with, helping me with homework and looking for advice toward any current life issue. Now, especially over this past year and a half, I can’t thank you enough for your constant support. Whether I needed advice toward college, boyfriends, a should to cry on, and hand to grasp on, a good laugh or just someone to strictly talk with, you guys have been go-to people. You guys rock!

Thanks for handing down the tips on how to handle our parents.

As there are many pros and cons to being the young sibling in the family, a huge pro is having you guys gearing me through the ropes and twist and turns with our parents. Based off your own experiences, you are able to hand down tricks and tips through certain phases I have experienced being a young adult. Thanks!

Thanks for always being the ‘protective’ older siblings

Nothing is quite as comforting than knowing you guys constantly have my back. At the end of the day, I know that you guys would do anything for me and I can’t thank you enough for that! In middle and high school, you always reminded me that whether it be with a friend or boyfriend, you guys would kick anyone’s ass who would do anything to hurt us. In college, you always check up on me making sure that I am having the time of my life, forming great relationships with people and being safe in my own surrounding environments. It’s an incredible feeling knowing that you three look out for me! Thank you.

Thanks for being the best older siblings anyone could possibly ask for!

No words can describe how thankful I am for each of you! The bond between a sibling is so unique, comforting and unbeatable and I am beyond happy to be able to share such a connection with you three. I could not have asked for more incredible older brothers and sister. You three continue to push me like no-one has before, support me through it all and express nothing but genuine love toward me. Continue being the most amazing, self-driven and kind-hearted individuals you all are. I love you three!

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.
