Siblings can be some of the best and worst things in your life. Every only child wishes they had a sibling, but they don't realize how lucky they are or all the struggles that come with having siblings. Here are just some of the many struggles you may face if you have brothers or sisters:

1. They think all of your stuff is theirs.

Don’t you just love finding all of your lost clothes in your siblings rooms? I know I do!

2. There is a constant battle for everything.

You always have to fight to watch your favorite show, fight for shower time in the morning, and even have to fight for the last leftover slice of pizza in the fridge.

3. When you hit your sibling and they start crying, you have to bribe them so they won’t tell your mom.

I may be guilty of this…


4. Getting told 24/7 how much you look alike.

Yes we get it. We have the same parents which probably means we are supposed to look a little similar.

5. Getting called by your siblings names.

“Cameron, Mariah, Kelsey….whatever your name is!”

6. Recording embarrassing things that they do and putting it on your snap story or vice versa.

It is all fun and games until you are the one being recorded.

7. When your mom puts you in charge when she is gone and your siblings don't listen to you whatsoever.

“You aren’t the boss of me!”

“Yes I am, Mom put me in charge! I will call her if you don't start listening.”

8. Having to break the news to your siblings that they are actually adopted.

I think every sibling has said this once or twice in their life.

9. When you find out your mom took your other siblings out to eat without you…

10. When your siblings come into your room and don’t shut the door on the way out.

11. When they get picked on by someone and you actually have to stand up for them because you are the only one that’s allowed to do that.


12. Having to babysit your siblings and be their taxis so your mom doesn’t have to pay someone else to do it.

13. Trying not to laugh when your sibling gets in trouble for something you actually did.

14. When you sign onto Netflix and see this screen because your siblings are watching Netflix too.

This has to be the worst

15. Even though they are complete pain in the butts, you still have to love them anyways and be there for them.

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.
