8 Reasons to Appreciate Your Sisters

Growing up with sisters, I realized how it would be so much harder with out them. Whether it's because I'd have half as many clothes, or because I wouldn't always have my best friend with me, I need my sisters.

1. Best advice

Sisters always look out for each other. Whether it's a stressful day at school or the inability to pick out a shirt for a party, somehow sisters always know how to solve your problems. Their advice is intended to help. Although their brutal honesty about the shirt you love, but they hate might seem hurtful, you know you have to listen because a sisters advice matters more than anything.

2. They keep your secrets

There's a reason no one says anything when mom asks who ate the tub of ice cream from the freezer even though they all know it was you. No matter how big or small, the secrets you tell your sisters will always stay between you and them.

3. Their friends are your friends

In high school especially, having friends in different grades is common. With two or three sisters in high school at the same time, there's almost a guarantee that you will share some of the same friends. Whether they meet at a soccer tryout or in your basement, don't be surprised when you see your sister texting one of your friends.

4. More than one closet

Multiple closest has to be one of the best things about your sisters. Having double or triple the closets of everyone else is so awesome. Whether it's a dress for a date or a shirt for job interview, you can always rely on your sisters to make sure you look super cute.

5. Guaranteed BFF

In life, friends come and go but you can always depend on your sisters to be with you through it all. They are always there for you no matter what happens. Fights between sisters are likely, but it's nearly impossible to cut them out of your life when their bedroom is right across the hall.

6. Constant Encouragement

Even though their honesty can be hurtful, you can always rely on your sisters to encourage you to do your best. Sisters make the best cheerleaders at sporting events and other activities. Seeing you succeed makes them feel as happy as they feel when they succeed.

7. Someone to hangout with

Although you might be disappointed when your best friend can't come over for movie night or a sleepover, there's no need to be sad because sisters are always willing to stay up late eating ice cream and watching Netflix.

8. You learn from their mistakes

Just like Hannah Montana said in the songs my sisters and I used to jam out to, everybody makes mistakes. The plus side to having sisters is you know that you won't make the same mistakes they did. Watching their mistakes guides you to not make the same ones.

Life would not be the same without sisters. Sisters are the biggest blessing and always something to be thankful for. They have come into your life and made it better.

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.

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.
