3 Reasons Why Having Sisters Is Awesome

Having sisters is the best thing.

3 Reasons Why Having Sisters Is Awesome
Keith Sisson

To start off, I consider myself quite qualified for this topic because I, unlike most, actually have six sisters. There are many reasons why I am thankful to grow up with such lovely and wonderful female role models.

The Clothes

My sisters and I have always been roughly the same size. Since most of us are close in age, when we are all living at home in the summer and on breaks, I have at least four other closets to choose from. Trust me, when you’ve grown up with good taste from your mom, fashion is high on the priority list. It is always nice to be able to have so many cute clothes to choose from. Not to mention the couple key items I “by accident" took and packed away in my closet. I have grown to realize what I like on my body and who is most likely going to have something like it in their closet.

Even after you think you have found the most perfect outfit you, of course, have to model it off in front of your sisters. Approval of all is usually the protocol before any big night.

Advice

Whether it be boys, what to wear, what to say or how to handle a situation, no one knows you better than your own flesh and blood. You couldn’t even imagine the times I have just driven around with my sisters and just talked, exchanging laughs, cries, annoyed rants and funny family stories. Advice is good when it's given by friends, but great when it comes from your sister. Sometimes it's nice to just talk about who we like, difficult circumstances surrounding our personal lives and just really anything with someone who knows you well (maybe even too well). Knowing someone is there to support you is really nice, especially when that person grew up with you. Sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but my sisters always are by my side.

Backup

This may not make sense if you don’t have any siblings, but if you do, you'll know exactly what I mean. You see when you’re in a fight with your parents sometimes you need a little backup. Sisters, especially mine, are wonderful at this. They always have my back, whether it’s taking my side in a debacle or just supporting my claim (even if it is wrong). Sisters ALWAYS got you.

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.
