Living with My Sister

Best idea ever?

Living with My Sister

It's the end of the school year and everyone is packing up their things to move back home for the summer, but is it the right decision? Is moving back home one of the best things you could do? I think it is!

Coming home for the summer and staying with my sister is both great and awful at the same time. If you, like me, love your big sister than you understand the kind if bond that sisters can have. It is unique and is unlike any other bond that anyone can ever have. However, that doesn't mean that living together is easy. I got used to living with just a roommate and not having to explain my schedule to anyone because the only one I had to worry about was me.

For example, my sister and I work a lot so when I'm home I like to watch television. I forget sometimes that my sister and I are completely different in our taste in most things. I'll be sitting on the couch watching anime and my sister will be like, “ What Is this crap? I don't understand what's going on! How can you watch this?” We will then sit there for a solid half an hour as I try to explain why I like it or what's going on in hopes that she will just let me watch and not complain.

There are other things too such as when I'm working and she needs someone to watch the kids or there is sooooo much laundry that all the baskets in the house are full or even something as small as, "Karyssa! You drank the last glass of milk!!!" because my sister loves milk and if anyone else gets the last glass before she does then it's a tragedy.

Despite all of the nonsense my sister and I have a good time. We have trash TV Wednesday and we sit on the couch for hours talking about all the crap that goes on at work. Even though living with my sister causes challenges, I wouldn't imagine living anywhere else for the summer.

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.
