8 Things You Know To Be True If You're The Little Sister

Being the younger sister has it's ups and downs, that's for sure. Although you may be the "baby" of the family and "always get your way," that is a lie. Older sisters rule the world and they know it. Here are 8 things that every younger sister can relate to.

1. You are given the lifelong gift of sitting in the backseat.

Regardless of who called shotgun first, you always lose. The only time you get to sit in the passenger seat is when your older sibling isn’t there.

2. Your outfit choice is never approved.

Regardless of how lit your outfit is, it’s either "too catchy", doesn’t match at all, you’re "trying to be hipster" or you copied your older sister.

3. Regardless of how awesome your achievement is, your older sister has already done it.

Whether it is passing your driver's test, making the varsity team, obsessing over a celebrity, or that cool new song you found, she did it first.

4. Teachers call you by your older sister's name instead of yours.


No matter how many times you correct them, your name never sticks.

5. You are the first accused of moving/never returning an item you borrowed.

As usual, the necklace or shoes that “you never returned” eventually show up right where you said they'd be.

6. Your older sister is always right.

No matter how correct you are, you will always be wrong. Regardless of how good you defend yourself, you will never win. If she supports her argument with "because I'm the oldest," it's over.

7. Receiving the hand-me-downs.

Your sister will get the new up-to-date clothes from Urban Outfitters, while you’re expected to rock that vintage Ed Hardy shirt and bedazzled jeans. (hah, yeah right, we’re heading to American Eagle)

8. Your sister will always be your best friend.

No one will be there for you like your older sister. Even though you’re the "annoying little sister," that "always ruins her plans," she will always have your back, give you advice, and support you all through life. (Also, she’ll keep those secrets from mom and dad for you, because she knows you’ve got more dirt on her)

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.
