When You Give A Girl Big Brothers

Growing up with big brothers can make you a tomboy, but it's a blessing and a curse

When You Give A Girl Big Brothers
Shelby Todd

When you give a girl big brothers, you give her so many aspects of life you'd never even think about when you only have sisters. Growing up, I was the baby of two older brothers who were eight and 13 years older than I was, so needless to say I had a pretty interesting childhood.

When you give a girl big brothers...

You give her an automatic reason to not bring boyfriends home

Big brothers have a tendency to make fun of you in front of significant others, or worse they threaten the boy when you're not in the room. Watch out for this.

You give her an automatic car ride and jam buddy everywhere she goes

Even if he absolutely doesn't want to take you, he's forced to because your parents don't want to and he's the only one with the license so he's stuck with you. Plus you get to hang out with all his cool high school friends while you're still in lower school.

You give her someone to vent to when mom and dad don't understand

Let's be honest, your brother knows all your deepest secrets whether you want to admit it or not. Especially when you enter college because you don't want your parents to know some of the things you've done, but you know your brothers will understand.

You give her someone to argue and fight with on any subject

Face the truth, you and your brothers bump heads like crazy. I know me and my brothers do a lot, but we still love each other a lot.

You give her an automatic play and sports partner

While this may be true, sometimes playing outside with older brothers doesn't always go as planned....

All in all having big brothers can be the biggest blessing yet the biggest curse there is. I loved growing up with two older brothers because they always took care of me and still do. They're my personal body guards and my built in best friends the older we become.

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.
