5 Signs You Grew Up With Brothers
Sydnee Graff

I grew up with two of the most annoying, but most amazing and loving brothers. My older brother and I are 1 year apart. My younger brother is 7 years younger than me. My older brother has always thought he was the "coolest" because he was "older" by 1 year. Like OK it's not that "cool". But, I also learned how to do more things before he did, like tying my shoes for example.

Here are some signs that you know you grew up with brothers:

1. You are stronger than you ever thought you could be.

Thank you, brothers. All those wrestling matches in the living room have made me stronger than I ever thought I could be. Even if you try saying you let me win, I know for a fact I won fair and square every time, boys.

2. At some point, you have matched.

Thank you, mom, I always wanted to coordinate my Halloween costume with my brother!! But really, if at some time in your life you have never twinned with a sibling then you need to do it now.

Ever heard of 101 Dalmatians? Nah..


3.You ALWAYS had someone on your side.

No matter if it was my older brother or my little brother or both, I knew I would have them on my side no matter what. I get in a fight with a friend, well of course my brothers are going to be on MY side. Middle school or high school boyfriend broke up with you or you broke up with him, my brothers were on my side. If I ever got into a fight with my parents, my brothers would back me up and be on my side.

4. You always learn something from each other.

Yes, I learned how to tie my shoes way before my older brother. Don't let him tell you any differently. I also believe I learned how to ride a bike "better" than him. It made more sense when I was 7, ok. I also learn things from my younger brother. Yes, I really wanted to know how tall NBA basketball players, thank you for telling me.

5. You love them no matter what.

No matter what the situation or outcome is, you will always love your brother unconditionally. Even if you got into a huge argument or fight, you will make up. It's what brothers and sisters do. I wouldn't be able to do life without you guys. Love you crazy people.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

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.
