10 Reasons Why Having An Older Sister Is The Best
Caroline Masia

This article is a dedication to my one and only sister, Ali. Thank you for always being there for me and for being the best sister in the world!


1. When you were little, she will let you hang out with her friends because all of her friends thought you were so cute!

Every time my sister's friends came over when I was younger, I would walk in and my sister would tell me to go away but her friends always told me to stay! I get that she didn't want me to crash the party because of how great I am, but it was always fun to see how it played out.

2. She was the best babysitter.

Growing up, I remember that I always enjoyed my sister babysitting me even if she didn't want to. To me, I got to hang out more with my big sister! Plus, I always knew we'd have a great time getting into trouble and playing all the games I wanted to because it was her job... literally.

3. Your sister is very real and honest with you.

I have never met anyone more honest than my sister in my life. Whenever I need advice or an opinion, she is always the first person I ask because she will never beat around the bush. Sometimes it would be nice to hear a white lie when I ask if I look good in a shirt, but I always appreciate her honesty.

4. When you have nothing to wear, so you go through your sister's closet because she has the best clothes.

Seriously though, we may have different styles but my sister has the best and cutest clothes ever! Walking into her closet is like walking into a boutique I don't have to pay for!

5. You bond when your parents are going nuts.

When our parents are going crazy, we look at each other and laugh. It is one of our little ways of bonding.

6. She is an excellent listener.

Whenever I need someone to talk too, I know that I can always rely on my sister. She listens and gives me the best advice. She never makes me feel like a burden and it's nice having her always around as my best friend.

7. When your sister lives far away but you look forward to seeing her every time she comes home.

My sister lives in a different state so sometimes it can be difficult not having her around. I look forward every time she comes home even if its for a couple of days!

8. She knows when you are upset and not telling the truth.

Even if I try very hard to show that I am not upset, my sister can tell that I am. She knows me too well and cares for me too much to let it go. Sometimes I really don't want to talk about things, but it can always be really nice to get it off my chest.

9. She has been through the high school drama.

My sister went to high school before me and she understands that high school can be difficult. Before I went into high school, she gave me a lot of tips and advice on how to be successful in high school.

10. Having an older sister is truly something that I am so grateful for!

Our relationship isn't always perfect, but there is no one else I would rather run to when I have a good or bad story.

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.
