The Perks Of Being The Only Girl

When it comes to being the only girl in your household aside from your own mother, you earn certain perks that you wouldn’t have if you had a sister. Everyone has heard the clichés that come with being the only daughter, but oftentimes this family dynamic is not explained from the daughter's (or sister's) point of view. In any family, sibling relationships vary. Being the only girl has its downfalls – like not having someone to share clothes and gossip with – but it also comes with perks.

1. Your clothes are your own.

2. You are the guru of girl advice for your brothers.

3. You have the bigger room and sometimes a private bathroom.

4. You're Daddy’s ONLY little girl.

5. You have a lot of bodyguards (i.e., your dad and brothers).

6. Cry once, and you’ll have them eating out the palm of your hand.

7. Unwanted boy attention is handled by your brothers (this could also be a disadvantage).

8. Being the only girl, you're bound to be spoiled to death by someone, including your brothers.

(Side note: I’ve dropped hints about this diamond necklace I want; I’ll be seeing it again soon.)

These are just a few perks. A lot of only daughters would agree with me when I say that there are about 100 perks to being the only girl and our brothers hate every last one of them.

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.
