Life With Only Brothers
Ashlie Lamb

Growing up with a brother is an adventure in itself, but growing up with only brothers? Life get's pretty crazy. The amount of horror stories you have is insurmountable, but the laughter you share along the way is what really counts.

When you grow up with only brothers, you don't have to worry about someone stealing your clothes, using your makeup, and wearing your shoes. And not having any girl drama in the house is a huge plus. But life with only brothers isn't always easier or more relaxed. In fact, if you've grown up with only brothers you can probably relate to the following:

1. Boys smell. Like really bad. So you constantly have to tell them to go shower.

2. You forced them to play Barbies with you when you were little, after all, they didn't know the difference between G.I. Joe and Ken.


3. Falling in the toilet is a regular happening in your house, and it never gets less annoying. How hard is it to remember to put down the toilet seat?

4. Boy clothes are so much better than girl clothes. And they don't even notice that their shirts and sweatpants are gone.

5. They are usually the last ones to be ready.

6. Sibling fights? More like war. There isn't hair pulling, there is punching. And your house is always a wrestling arena.

7. They are more honest than your girlfriends when it comes to how you look.

8. You probably get along better with guys than girls, because you were raised on the bro code. Thus, you suck at being a girl. The most you can do with your hair is a pony-tail.

9. If you don't make an effort to get the first helping of food, then consider it gone Needless to say, you don't share your food.

10. They make it their personal job to annoy you at all times whenever possible.

11. But the worst thing is when people ask if you're a couple.

Growing up with only brothers is challenging and sometimes you want to pull your hair out. When you were younger, you probably wished for a sister, but now you wouldn't trade your brothers for the world.

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.
