Seven Reasons why Older Brothers Are the Best.
Sarah Offut

Having older siblings is great and all but having an older brother is something spectacular on its own. There is so,so many reasons why older brothers are the best but for the mean time. Here are seven reasons why having an older brother is the absolute best.

1.) Free of charge body guard


Having an older brother is like having a free body guard. He will do everything in his power to protect you. God forbid someone else take his job of making fun of you. He will not let anyone hurt you or do you wrong.

2.) A Best friend


You get a best friend without even trying really. I mean you know each other from birth and you literally share everything.

3.) They won't steal your clothes


Sisters tend to fight over simple things like clothes. However, having an older brother means he won't steal your favorite dress. And plus you never have to worry about wearing the same thing. Unless your parents decide y'all need to match, which is awful.

4.) You learn how to be a responsible adult.


They teach you the necessities in life that you'd typically depend on a guy for. That way you never have to depend on a guy to come save the day. For example. He'll teach you to change your oil, cut the grass, check your tire pressure, fix the things that need it. Kinda like the time where I was taught how to fix a hole in the wall after a certain mishap.

5.) Y'all have a long list of secrets


Seriously. I can't think of how many secrets we have kept from our mom. There's just way too many to even begin counting.

6.) Grown up adventures


When one of you or both of you have moved out and started your lives it gets sad. You are not kids anymore but that never stops the fun. Now you get to go spend the night at his house and your mom trusts y'all enough to behave the right way without worrying.

7.) You have a hero.


I don't know about y'all but my older brother is my role model and my hero. Everything he does is special. I look up to him every single day, figuratively and literally. There is nothing in the world that can break the bond between a big brother and his little sister and I love that so very much.

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.
