Why Having Two Big Sisters Is Better Than One

Your big sister will always be your first best friend. You cannot imagine your life without her, because she has always been in it. When you were little she was the person you wanted to be. Anything she did or said, you'd copy because she seemed to know it all. When she went to kindergarten, you began counting down the days until you could go, too. When she got a bedazzled shirt from Limited Too, you wanted her to grow so you'd get the hand-me-downs. When she came home with pink braces, you wished your baby teeth would fall out so you could join the club. All you ever wanted to do was catch up to your big sister and be as amazing as she was. There is nothing better than having a big sister to look up to, except, of course, having two. Having two big sisters means having two role models and having two people whom you share a bond with like no other. These are just a few of the ways that having two big sisters is even better than one.

1. Two People To Give You Advice


Having two older sisters means having two people who have different insights into your dilemmas. Both sisters have learned from their own experiences and can help you in their own unique way. While one sister may not understand what you are going through, the other may know exactly what you should do in order to solve your problem. Two sisters means two people who will give you genuine advice when you need it the most.

2. More Clothes To Steal


While they may hate you in the moment for it, we've all stolen from our big sister's wardrobe. I used to wear a different outfit to school and change into my sister's shirt in the bathroom, just so she wouldn't find out. Whether I did it because her style was just that amazing, or simply because I wanted what I couldn't have, I loved stealing clothes from my sister and still do. Having two sisters means having two wardrobes to snag from. If your sisters have similar tastes to you and you are all generous, you're lucky to have more than one wardrobe.

3. Two Automatic Best Friends


While your sisters and you may fight a lot, they will still always be your friend no matter what. You've been together since birth, and that's a bond that doesn't break easily. Having two big sisters means having two amazing friends who are always there for you. There's no stress in making plans because they live with you and no matter what you are doing, you're enjoying yourself. When you hang out all as a group, there is even more opportunity for an amazing and fun time together. There's no boundaries or judgements and you share an unconditional love, which is hard to find in most ordinary friendships.

4. Two Shoulders To Cry On


The great thing about having two sisters is that I have two people who will be there for me at my lowest. You can never have too much love, and having two older sisters means I have two people who will love me at my worst. Your big sisters have a unique bond with you because they have been in your shoes before. They know the pain you may be feeling and they will both do whatever they can to make sure you are protected.

5. Two Amazing People To Aspire To Be

I am lucky enough to not only have my two big sisters, but a big brother as well to look up to. All three of my siblings have done so well for themselves and have worked so hard to be where they are. In a world where women still need to work a little harder to reach their dreams, my sisters have shown me what it takes to be successful. They are so different from one another, which makes it even better for me, because I have two unique role models. Having one older sister is an amazing gift, but having two means that I get to enjoy the benefits two times over.

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.
