Why Older Brothers are the Best Siblings

There is nothing like having an older brother.

Why Older Brothers are the Best Siblings
Ansley Connor

I consider myself one lucky and very blessed girl. I have the most amazing and selfless parents, who have been able to provide me with everything I could ever want and need in my 20 years of life, while also raising me to be humble and appreciative. They have given me the best education, a car at 16, the “must have” popular items that the older girls had at school, and much more, but the one thing they have given me that rises above everything in my life is my big brother. Here are some reasons why having a big brother is the best sibling to have:

1. You never have to worry about being picked on by someone else.

He picks on you.Someone else picks on you, they are dead.

2. You will be blessed with his cute friends being at your house (but will never have a chance because you will always be known as the "little sister").

There are still three I'm set on marrying though.

3. You always had someone to play with when you were little.

Thank you for dressing up in sparkly dress-up clothes to skate around in roller blades “ice skating” with me, and when it came to playing teacher, thank you for transforming our attic into a classroom.

4. You have this steaming anger when someone does your brother wrong.

You might be little, probably smaller than whoever did him wrong, but that doesn't stop you.

5. You know all the cool rap songs.

*Hears cool song from brother*

*Plays it in front of your friends*

*Becomes the coolest person ever*

*Thanks brother in head*

6. He makes you tough.

When you get in a argument with your friend and they want to text it all out and be mean, and you’re just like, “Let's meet up."

7. Most importantly, he has shown you what a respectful man is.


If your brother is anything like mine and was raised like him, then in the most non-weird way, you want to find a man just like him (that you are not related to). Thanks for being the best role model and big brother a girl could ask for!

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.
