7 Reasons Why Having Siblings 7+ Years Older Is The Best
Alexis Alicea

1. You made me tough.

Being the youngest, I was always picked on by you both. Now that I am older, I feel as though I handle this better because I had practice from you guys. I don’t really let things like that get to me. You picking on me taught me how to stick up for myself. Thanks for making me tough.

2. Hanging around with teenagers while being a child makes you very mature and knowledgeable

I knew a lot of things kids at the age of 6 didn’t have knowledge of. When I was younger and even now, my peers consider me mature for my age. I owe that to you guys because you treated me a lot older than I actually was and taught me many things.


3. Good music taste at a young age.

Having siblings multiple years older than you is quite the perk. While other little kids were listening to “Old McDonald Had A Farm”, I was listening to the latest rap, thanks to my older siblings.


4. I learned from your mistakes and good decisions as well.

I saw your mistakes first hand and realized that I personally did not want to go through that. That being said, when something positive happened to you guys, I took note and kind of followed in your footsteps. You guys taught me a lot through your mistakes and your good decisions. You even give me advice on things you've experienced.


5. I automatically had bodyguards.

If anyone every messed with me, you would always stick up for me or teach me how to stick up for myself. Even though it would be embarrassing for me to have my siblings help me fight my battles, you never let anyone get away with picking on your little sister.


6. We can get into huge fights but talk about what bothers us and get over within a couple of hours.

I know each one of us has gotten in big arguments with each other. Sometimes I would think we would never recover from it. But we always do. We talk about it and apologize. Then later make jokes about it.


7. The biggest support system a little girl could ask for.

You two are always there for me. I always tell you about my latest achievements and it seems like you are more excited that I am. I’m glad I can make you guys proud.

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.
