Reader's Digest

1. There is Always a Favorite Sibling

Your parents will deny it until they are blue in the face, but everyone else knows who the favorite is.

2. They'll Do Anything You Ask... For a Price

Whether its doing some chore, or a favor, or anything really, you can always count on your siblings to help you out... in exchange for something else, usually money.

3. There is Always an Argument Over Something Stupid

It could be over the front seat, the last slice of pizza, or who gets the shower first, but there's always an argument.

4. All Food is Fair Game

Unless you bought it yourself, and put your name on it, any food in the house is up for grabs.

5. Don't Expect Your Clothes to Stay in Your Closet

Your sibling will steal your clothes, and they will lie about it, and there's a chance that it will be lost or ruined.

6. You Will Get in Trouble for Something You Didn't Do

You will get blamed for something that you didn't do, usually it happens when someone gets hurt or something get's broken.

7. You Will Never Have Any Privacy... Ever

There is no place to hide. No matter how hard you try, there will always be someone sticking their nose in your business, and it's most likely your mom.

8. "I Barely Hit You"/"Shut Up, You're Fine"

Someone will get hurt, it's inevitable, and the assailant will either try to play it off or cover it up, and if they're really desperate they will let you hit them back.

9. Your Mom Will Always Forget Your Name

It's not their fault, every mother does it, when there's a lot of children the names get all jumbled up and sometimes the wrong one slips out.

10. At Least One Sibling has been Left Somewhere

Though this one isn't as common, sometimes with all the commotion of going somewhere one sibling slips through the cracks and gets left behind.

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.
