8 Reasons Why Sharing A Room With Your Sister Is Actually Terrible

I found out things about my sister I wish I never did

8 Reasons Why Sharing A Room With Your Sister Is Actually Terrible
Beth Miller

I had my own room for 16 years and now I realize how lucky I was -- sharing a room with your sibling is actually terrible. Don't get me wrong I love my sister but sharing a room with her has taught me things I never knew. Now I understand why people call her Messy Jessie -- even though messy is an understatement. I have found an old bowl of ice cream once under her bed, she leaves money around everywhere (not that I'm complaining) and I have truly realized how unorganized and dirty she really is. I wish I never had the chance to find out what it's like to share a room with a sibling but now I know what it's like.

1. Impossible to clean.

After I clean up my stuff I end up just cleaning hers too because I hate when the room looks like a mess after I just cleaned it. Double the work and she just messes it up the next day anyway.

2. No privacy.

I am constantly kicking her out for some peace and quiet!

3. More arguments.

More time spent together is more time for screaming and pulling each other's hair out.

4. Late nights.

If she wants to go to sleep and I'm not tired I'm forced to leave my comfy bed, although mostly I am the one who wants to go to sleep and she has to leave.

5. Clothes go missing.

I guess since we now share the same walls it gives her easy access to my entire wardrobe, therefore I am always missing my favorite clothes.

6. Hair -- everywhere.

Her hair is red and my hair is brown so it is easy to tell who's it is and let me tell you, red hair is everywhere.

7. There's always company.

She always seems to have a friend over every time I just want to watch Netflix in the comfort of my own bed.

8. Morning routines.

I am a very light sleeper so I wake up to every alarm she sets -- and she sets about five within 10 minutes.

Don't get me wrong I love my sister, but I think we both like it better when we had our own rooms.

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.
