10 pros of being the baby Sibling

Growing up I wished I had a younger brother or sister and, of course, that did not happen. But now I look back and realize that being the youngest in your house is actually the best thing ever. If you're the baby of your family you definitely can relate to these 10 things.

1. You get away with anything and everything.

Because how could you possibly get in trouble when you have an older sibling(s) to blame? Just fake cry and boom it's their fault.

2. You don't have any one who bothers you and your friends.

I 100% used to hang out in the same room as my sister and her friends just because I could annoy my sister and get away with it.

3. There's no one under you to have spy on you.

Again, I 100% spied on my sister and her boyfriend from every window in the house.

4. You get to do things at a younger age than your older sibling(s).

Because your parents don't want to hear all of the complaining. Fun fact: I got my first laptop at a way younger age than my sister.

5. Your parents don't micromanage you.

Not they have two or more kids to watch after and not just one, so that means more freedom.

6. You get all their clothes.

When I was little I didn't like this, but now that I'm older I actually like it, I was a pretty fly 3rd grader in my purple Jesus is my homeboy shirt.

7. You learn from their mistakes.

Learning from your older sibling(s) mistakes is hands down on elf the best things ever, because not only will not get in trouble from doing it BUT you end up looking like the better child, and that gives you bragging rights ;)

8. You don't have to share.

Selfish but true. I would say that sharing is caring but I don't care.

9. You have less responsibilities.

The older sibling(s) should do the most right? Isn't that how that works?

10. No one is going to mess with you.

Having an older sibling(s) is like having you're own personal body guard.

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.
