Sharing your room could get annoying, and truthfully no sane individual actually volunteers to give up their own space just to share with their sibling.You may love them and all, but the struggles of sharing a room with them are hard to bare especially when you both are in your early twenties.

It's safe to admit that as you grow, so do these nine struggles.

1. Getting used to your own room, only to have it taken away.

getting your own room is like winning the lottery because you don't have to deal with the little annoyances brought on by your sibling.however, don't get too cozy because as soon as school ends you no longer have this luxury and are forced back into a split room.

2.Twice the mess when you both come back from break.

unfortunately, their mess becomes your mess, and when it's double the mess it takes forever to sort it all out. Two messes aren't better than one

3. Bottles replace your toys.

As you become older you become legally able to drink ,and you begin to hoard bottles that end up taking up most of your desk.

4. You basically have two sets of wardrobe.

you get a one-way ticket to each other's closet and therefore your things become hers or vice verse and you realize that you both need to compromise on storage space

5. You develop different design tastes.

as time changes so does the decore and you both will never agree on wall color schemes so it's best if you settle compromise in advance

6. The struggle not to wake the other up when you stumble home from the bars.

Either your sleep schedules need to sync up or By This point , you should just expect to be woken up whenever you wish to sleep.

7. You need to watch Netflix with your headphones in.

If they want to sleep but you aren't tired and don't wish to migrate to the tv room or basement you are forced to watch Netflix with headphones in so you don't disturb sleeping beauty.

8. A clean room is never obtainable

it seems like as soon as one of you puts something on your floor a huge domino effect occurs and then suddenly your room looks like a bomb went off. and then when you get the motivation to clean both sides it somehow gets messy all over again so you just accept the fact that having a clean room is utterly impossible.

9. When going back to school it's highly likely your things would get mixed up.

half a room isn't enough, and no matter how big the room there isn't any space to fit both of your stuff so you're forced to throw it all together, therefore, your favorite pair of leggings will go for a trip back to school with your sister.


The important thing to remember is, although sharing your room could be a huge pain, you develope a strong bond being two feet away.

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.
