13 Things Older Sisters Give To Little Sisters
Julia Baldwin

There's nothing like the relationship between sisters. They laugh with you, cry with you, and sometimes make you want to pull your hair out, but ultimately they're your true best friend. Here are few things that big sisters give to their little sisters:

1. Old school work and SAT/ACT help

Note to all younger sisters: Make your older sister save all of her old AP work so for you it will be a breeze.

2. Hand-me-downs

Older sisters can give their little sisters all of their old clothes--but this doesn't stop them from going into the older sister's closet to steal her new ones.

3. Competition

The fight over who the favorite daughter is lives on. Sisters are constantly in competition with one another but it keeps things interesting.

4. A shoulder to cry on

When you have a sister, you almost always have someone who understands you and will be there for you in a time of need.

5. ...And a punching bag

Of course, sisters fight, and they often take out completely unrelated anger or stress on one another. Or, one just made a really rude comment and World War III breaks out.

6. Friend advice

An older sister is the best person to help you figure out who your real friends are, and who are not. They've been through it all when it comes to friendships.

7. Boy advice

Older sisters want the best for their younger sisters, especially when it comes to guys. Sisters are there for all of the breakups and broken hearts.

8. Parent advice

The older sister is the guinea pig for everything when it comes to what makes parents happy and what makes them mad, and they can pass this knowledge on.

9. Outfit advice

Your sister is one of the only people in the world who will be 100% brutally honest when you ask her if these pants make you look fat.

10. Makeup advice

Older sisters didn't have anyone to tell them that sparkly blue eyeshadow is not okay to wear on your first day of high school.

11. Instagram advice

Me and my sister's text message conversations consist of little conversation and a lot of pictures sent back and forth captioned "Which one?"

12. Funny stories

Especially true for pairs of sisters in which one goes to college, older sisters can bring back hilarious (and often embarrassing) stories to entertain their little sister with.

13. A best friend

An older sister is a built-in best friend for life.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
