5 Reasons You Should Be Thankful For Your Sisters
Isabelle Schayes

Sisters are a blessing. Sometimes, you might lose sight of that because you guys are always bickering about who stole someone's brand new jeans. But, on some occasions, you realize that you would be completely lost without their advice and guidance.

1. Endless closets to choose from.

Now, for this one, you have to proceed at your own risk. You don't want to end up chasing each other around the house for a pair of shoes. If you get caught, the results could be disastrous. However, if you succeed, the results could be incredible. Getting away with it means that you have also successfully avoided any social media activity while wearing said outfit. You could always take the safer route and opt for your own clothes, but that's no fun. Let's be honest, nothing is better than getting away with it.

2. Someone to make fun of your parents with.

See, this is a given. Even your closest friends will never understand your mom's diet coke obsession and her other weird habits. You and your sisters have successfully mastered your parents' signatures and figured out all of their habits.


3. Company on Family Vacations.

Before boyfriends were allowed to come, all you had with you was your sisters. This was good because you weren't alone. However, spending all day every day with your sisters could end in disaster. Disasters include but are not limited to: trying to find a door to slam while you are sharing a hotel room, screaming matches at dinner and trying to run away from each other without realizing you that are on a cruise ship.

4. A Guide through Life.

Let's be honest here, as much as they annoy you, you don't know where you would be without their constant guidance. Sisters often lead by example and, lucky for you, you can learn from their mistakes. Sometimes, they don't exemplify the best behavior, like blaming you for breaking a straightening iron only to get a new one.

5. They Always Have been and Always will be there.

Sisters are your actual day one's. Nobody knows you better than someone who was raised right next to you. Even though sometimes you fight, you realize that sisters' are the most amazing gift you have ever been given.

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.
