1. 24/7 Competition

From the moment that you were told to start sharing you began competing with your siblings, and no matter how old you get it seems like you will always be competing for something with them.

2. Sharing everything

If you grew up with several siblings you learned early on that sharing is important and apart of any healthy relationship, however sharing everything isn't always easy (and is rarely ever fun).

3. Jealousy

A little jealously can be healthy in a relationship, but your siblings are always there to keep you in check (and help you back up).

4. Car trips are never boring

From singing show tunes or Disney to frantically fighting for the best seat or snacks car trips are rarely ever dull (or optional).

5. Getting ready in the morning can be interesting

Between people getting ready for work, kids getting ready for school, cooking breakfast and packing lunches within a relatively small space, what could go wrong.

6. There is no such thing as TMI

When you live with seven other people there is rarely ever privacy.

7. Hiding your favorite food

Just because you called dibs on those crackers at the store doesn't mean no one will eat them behind your back. This specifically goes double for any left overs that you might be saving.

8. Babysitting

If you're one of the older children baby sitting could be a cheaper alternative to actually hiring a baby sitter, however it might not always be the safest thing to do.

9. Giving advice

If you are like me, several years older than one of your siblings (12 and 15 years to be exact), then they might come to you for advice.

10. But no one else can mess with them but you

No matter what you say or sometimes think about your siblings if anyone besides you starts to mess with them it is all out war.

11. Family love

You will love your siblings no matter how terrible they can seem growing up.

12. Threatening them nonchalantly

Even if you spent most of your childhood threatening each other behind your parental guardian's back.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
