A Poem For My Older Sister

Because even though she's annoying, I still love her.

A Poem For My Older Sister
Elise Bohning

If the title wasn't obvious enough, I have an older sister. While she can be extremely annoying sometimes, I still love her. Her birthday is coming up soon, and since I won't be seeing her the day of ('cause we're both in college), I decided to write her a little something. Enjoy!


Oh, dearest Arianna,

how annoying art thou.

You leave your crap all over the bathroom

Would it kill you to clean it up somehow?


Oh, dearest Arianna,

quit acting like you're the boss of me.

Just because you're older,

doesn't give you a right to be.


Oh, dearest Arianna,

how very weird art thou.

At home you sing obnoxious opera,

I'd appreciate if you could keep it down.


Oh, dearest Arianna,

you are smart as heck.

You constantly get straight A's,

could you, like, chill for a sec?


Oh, dearest Arianna,

how very talented art thou.

You're so good at oboe and piano,

you leave people thinking, "Wow!"


Oh, dearest Arianna,

I appreciate our shared interests.

We can make some great inside jokes,

and Mom and Dad won't know the difference.


Oh, dearest Arianna,

Honestly, I really love you.

You're the best because you're my sister, not my friend.

If we were friends? Well...that, I would never do.


Arianna, thanks for being a good older sister. Even if you are just so annoying sometimes, I still think you're pretty great. Love ya!

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.
