Living With SIblings

"It wasn't me."

Having siblings means you have built-in best friends who will be there for life. Luckily for me, just a few months ago I was able to add three more siblings into my life — stepsiblings to be exact. There is nothing weirder in this world than being forced to live and get along with one or multiple people and the fact that you can’t escape them because, well, they are family is a whole other story.

It seems crazy to go from saying I have one younger brother to saying I have four other siblings. Siblings are a little piece of childhood that can never be lost. Here's a few things that happen when you grow up with multiple siblings or even just one.

1. Getting in trouble

It was always great when you did something but your siblings got in trouble for it.

2. "Can you do me a favor?"

The constant asking each other to do something for you — usually asking to run upstairs and get something.

3. When you need money

Always sneaking into their room trying to find extra money laying around.

4. Competition for the bathroom

You have probably been in there and your sibling bangs on the door telling you to hurry up.

5. When you fight over the front seat.

6. When everyone says you look alike.

Yeah, we don't see it.

7. When horseplay gets taken too far.

It doesn't end until someone ends up crying.

8. "I'm telling mom."

Whenever you hear this, you run for your life.

9. Getting called the wrong name and still expected to answer.

Seriously?

10. When someone says, "Your brother is so cute!"

Yeah, let's not say that.

11. The endless memories

Even after everything you have been through, your siblings will always be there for you.

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.
