14 Perks of Having Older Sisters
Life to Lens Photography by Lauren Smith

What's so great about having an older sister you ask?

1. She is always there to tell you the truth.

She tells you if you're being a complete diva, and then she puts you in your place.


2. She protects you.

If someone ever tries to mess with you, she will not tolerate it .


3. She truly loves and cares about you.

No matter how hard that may be at times. Tough love is the best kind!!

4. She is the prefect shopping partner & you get to share closets.

Thank God I have someone to tell me if the outfit I am trying on makes me look like a Beluga whale. Plus, if I have nothing to wear, boom, I have two other closets to shop in. She is also the person who steals you clothes, and then doesn't return them...but ya gotta love em'.

5. Her advice is like the HOLY GRAIL.

I mean, they have probably experienced what I am going through already, so they know exactly what to say.

6. She is always there for you.

Even if they aren't good at comforting, at least they try.

7. They always know exactly what you're thinking without you having to say a word.


When someone is trying to hit on you, and you give your sister the "Please save me" look...She knows whats up.


8. You have someone to teach you how to apply makeup and curl your hair.


Because, sometimes, you're just doing it wrong.

9. You always have someone to back you up.

When mom is acting nuts, and you just need someone to help you out. Sisters always have your back when someone calls you out, because "Bitches be crazy."

10. She keeps your diet in check.

Thank goodness I will forever have workout buddies, and someone to tell me if I gained weight.


11. But she is also the person you low-key

binge eat with.

Sisters are totally the ones you bump into in the pantry at 12:00 AM on the hunt for chocolate.

12. She helps you in school.

She likely already took all of the classes that you are having trouble with, and she can help you. Blessed.

13. She shares in your dreams with you.

They never stop believing in you, even when you think that your dreams are unobtainable. They will help you to achieve your dreams, because they share in your dreams with you.

14. She is your forever friend.


At the end of the day, sisters are one of the greatest blessings that God has bestowed on us. Wether they are blood-related, or just best friends that feel like sisters; they are God's gift to creation for sure.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
