Growing Up With Two Older Sisters

Being the youngest isn't always bad.

Growing Up With Two Older Sisters
Hailey Ross

Being the youngest sister has pros and cons. In other words, being called the baby of the family is not my favorite, but I learn to manage. Growing up with two older sisters that are only a year apart can be hard at times. Since they are so close in age, they are interested in similar things and get along with the same friend group. Myself on the other hand, I am completely different. I love dogs, and my sister loves cats. I want Chinese food, and my sister wants pizza. I say the sky is blue, and she'll say it's purple. It's almost like we are opposites.

During our elementary school stage, we all thought the same and of course dressed the same. My mom thought it was always a good idea to dress us up in the same outfits for school and Halloween. It was almost like we were triplets. We would all get along, but we were young and vulnerable. We didn't know what the future would bring us at such a young age. My sister, Brielle, is the middle child. She is 21-years-old, and she will be graduating from Florida State University this year. My other sister, Malina, is 22-years-old, and she is a student at Old Westbury back in New York. Last but certainly not least, there is me. I am the youngest, and I am a student at the University of Tennessee. We are all in different states,but we always make time to text or even talk on the phone. Being far away from them can be hard, especially if I need them for something like an outfit approval. We still are not as close as we were when we were younger, but when there is an emergency or I need something to talk to, they always have my back. When I was in middle school, I would always wear my sisters hami-downs. The best part is when someone gave me a compliment on my shirts, I would always grin and say, "Thanks! I just got it. "

No matter what state I'm in or even if I don't speak to them everyday, I still love them. They can drive me crazy, especially when they take my clothes from my room. But, I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world. We can fight like cats and dogs sometimes, but we always forgive each other when we buy food for each other. I am forever thankful.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
