Growing Up With Younger Siblings As Told By The Office

Sometimes you need to tie up a little brother

The time has come when your little brother turns 18, sends his acceptance letter to college and decides to move out. It got me to thinking about growing up together and all of the things that made us who we are today. Remember, just because he's 18 and taller than you doesn't mean you still aren't the wiser, more attractive one.

Comparing grades:

Whether it was in high school or college, their grades were always better then yours. ALWAYS.

Getting locked out:

The constant times you would ask them to keep the phone by their side and then them laughing when you pull into the driveway at 3am and were locked out yet again.

Bad Choices

Bad haircuts. Enough said.

Watching them at their first party:

It was not a pretty sight.

Being seen together in public:

When they would tell you to screw off when you tried to tag along.

Significant others:

When you would tell them not to hook up with their ex but they would do it anyway.

Significant others part 2:

But then they give you the same advice and you don’t listen either.

Weird friends:

When they have friends come over that hit on you and walk into your bedroom without knocking and they think nothing of it.

But, at the end of the day, you know that they’ll always be there for you, regardless of the situation or embarrassment level.

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.
