Why Being The Youngest Sister Is The Best

Being the youngest means you get your way.

Why Being The Youngest Sister Is The Best
Lexi Eaton

Being the youngest in a family, you have a certain reputation to maintain. Over the years, I have managed to do a pretty good job at it.

Being the youngest means you can get away with almost anything. Got a tattoo without telling your parents? It's okay because your older siblings did it too. Snuck out after 1:00 am? It's okay because there was that one time your older sister did the same thing but managed to not make it back before sunrise.

You made friends with your siblings friends because you made them take you along with them wherever they went, whether they wanted to or not. My sisters were forced to bring me to the movies, shopping, games and parties. Even though they claimed they didn't want me there, I know they actually did.

When you need to go to someone for advice you can always go to them. You may not tell them everything that is going on in your life but if a boy breaks your heart or your so called "friends" betray you, you go to them. They know how to make you feel better, and will help you get through it because they've been through it too.

Even though you've annoyed them every day of your existence, they're still okay with being your best friend. Between sharing clothes, movie nights, rants to each other about random things, and blowing them up with gossip, it's questionable as to whether they're just considered an older sister or if they're really your best friend.

When you start growing up, you have role models to look up to, and they will help guide you in the right direction. You may not live together anymore, but your older sisters will check up on you 24/7. You'll get random texts, phone calls or FaceTime calls no matter what time of day. You're their little sister and no matter how much you annoyed them, at the end of the day, they love you.

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.
