Why Brothers Are So Important
Morgan Burroughs

Whether you have a little brother or big brother, you know they always have your back and are there to pick you up when you fall. A brother is there when you need someone to talk to. A brother is there with a caring hand to hold when you are frightened. They are your support system. They are there to help you succeed in life and are always there. They can be one phone call or text away.

I was blessed with two awesome brothers, Mason and Coburn. Although they get on my nerves at times, I would not replace them. Why, you may ask. It is because life would not be the same without my two brothers. Mason and Coburn have definitely made life interesting. For example, when I first came home from the hospital after my mouth surgery, I was pleasantly surprised with a little welcome-home celebration when I entered my room. Unfortunately, I was unable to enjoy it. But I was and still am extremely grateful for all the effort they made to welcome me back home. I will never forget that.

Now, it is not my intention to make this article all about my brothers. It is to shed light on the gift of having brothers in your life. Do not get me wrong; I sometimes wish that I had a sister, but you can never go wrong with having brothers as your siblings.

As I previously stated, brothers play multiple roles in your life. A brother is who you can always count on to have your back. Even when brothers annoy you to where you cannot even think straight, their love for you is unconditionally.

Brothers have multiple ways of having your back and that is an awesome feeling to know you have someone there to protect you.

A brother is always there if you need advice on anything. Whether it is about a college course that you should take or something in your life that you are struggling with, brothers will always give it to you straight, they won't sugarcoat it.

Support, love, and affection is another way that your brothers are there to protect you, especially their younger sisters. When another individual is picking on you or you are uncomfortable in the, it is good to know he will have something to say to them. It is basically in the "Rule Book of Brothers" that they are there to watch over you.

You know your brothers are genuine. You know that brothers will always be those people that you can count on and will be there when you need them to be. They love you unconditionally and you love them the same.

"Broth-er: a person who is there when you need him; someone who picks you up when you fall; a person who sticks up for you when no one else will; a brother is always a friend: -- Author Unknown.

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.
