Brothers: As Told In GIFs

My brothers and I have had an odd relationship.

Brothers: As Told In GIFs

I grew up with three brothers, and I'm the only girl. My brothers and I have had an odd relationship. I tried to explain what it was like growing up with brothers in GIFs, but we all know that its impossible to explain how your brother/sister relationship works.

Whenever they did something stupid or whenever people ask if that is your brother, you have only one response:

This is especially true when they are doing something embarrassing and/or just annoying you in general.

Older brothers never respect your stuff (it even happens to JLaw):

Sometimes it's the other way around; I've been known to steal my older brother's T-shirts and never give them back. So then in retaliation he steals my lava lamp. This is war.

And in those moments of peace with your younger brothers, then you have your inside jokes with your brothers:

In this case, we watch "Supernatural" and call each other "b*tch" and "jerk."

But you always know how to handle younger brothers, especially when you break something and don't want to get in trouble for it:

It's their fault, they started it years ago.

There are different ways siblings fight: words, and physical fighting are the most popular, but to the siblings they always add up to looking like the movie "300" fight scene:

Even if it's just with a pillow, anything is a dangerous weapon in sibling fights.


How your relationship works, you guys are best friends for one minute and then you hate each other the next minute:

To be fair, I would knock my siblings into an ice hole and then...maybe...help them out. Depends on what kind of a mood I am in that day.


You probably played a lot of video games, and this is how you were forced to play because you were the weaker one...

Even when I did get to be first player, the controller was unplugged!

This is also how you wish your brother happy birthday. It's not until you are much older do you even wish each other a happy birthday but when you do, it looks like this:

"I barely touched you!"

When they complain about having a sister, I basically remind them how lucky they are to have me as a sister, so I must remind them of my many wonderful attributes:

I mean, who else could you turn to for girl advice?

Regardless of how much you hate each other, there's no one like your brothers — whether younger or older — and you will beat up anyone who tries to take your job away from you:

I'll kill you before I let you touch my brothers. That's just the way it will always be.

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.
