For a lot of young women, your twenties is when things start to fall into place. Some girls get married, have kids, some graduate college and start their first jobs. This is also the time that things can seriously fall apart such as your first true heartbreak, or your first real-world rejection.

Who better to have at your side than the girls that have literally been next to you since birth? Your sisters are going to be your best support system throughout this interesting time in your life, and you're lucky for it, and here's why:

1. When your parents are asking you too many questions about your future, you always have each other's back.

"Are you dating?" "Do you have plans after graduation??"

2. If that doesn't work, you can always throw them into the line of fire.

"No dad, I don't have a job yet but, did you hear about your other daughter's speeding ticket?"

3. When you are all home for the holidays, it's AMAZING.


You act like it's been years when it's actually only been a few weeks.

4. Stealing each other's clothes is a greater offense now that you're paying for them with your own money.

Now you have to be extra sneaky.

5. Even your wine nights are more grown up.

You each get your own bottle instead of splitting a bag.

6. Even if you don't have your life together just yet, you have a sister who does and will (most likely) take care of you.


Why have sisters if they don't let you crash on their couch for a few weeks?


7. Name a better group to have a girls night with.


No one can party together like sisters who just finished screaming at each other.

8. They know you better than you know yourself, so they can spot a bad idea from a mile away.


They're the ones that will tell you, NO the third time is not the charm with Chad.


9. No matter how much you fight, you know they will always be there for life's most important moments.


If you can get through sharing a bathroom in high school, you can get through pretty much anything.

10. And those moments can be pretty fun.


No one wants to celebrate your wedding more than the girls who saw you through your middle school gaucho phase.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
