A Thank You To My Younger Sisters

Even though you steal my clothes I still love you

A Thank You To My Younger Sisters
Marlye Jerva

If you grew up with a sister then you most likely experienced the constant fighting over clothes, who gets shotgun or who eats the last cookie. If you were not blessed with a sister, then lucky you, but also, unlucky you. As much as my sisters annoy me, I don't know what I would do without them.

I thank my sisters for stealing my clothes because it helped me learn how to share. Most of the time, I wish they would at least ask before they’d steal my favorite shoes or cutest going out shirt but it always meant that I could steal theirs too.

I thank them for always making me laugh and doing crazy things, like sleeping in the tub.

I thank them for telling me when I look bad in outfits or if things don’t match. My sisters have helped me improve my fashion sense and find out what kinds of clothes I like best.

I thank them for helping me get over asshole boys and reminding me when I’m so much better than them.

I thank them for always liking my Instagram and Facebook pictures. Not only that but for being my personal photographer and taking the best photos of me and with me (except when they ruin pictures).

I thank them for letting me steal bites of their food at dinner, even though they really don’t want too.

I thank them for letting me yell at them when I’m stressed but loving me after anyway. And for telling me when I’m being crazy and should calm down, even though half the time I don’t calm down.

I thank them for missing me while I’m away at college and always Facetiming me to make me feel better.

Most importantly I thank them for being my best friends and always pushing me to be the best I can be.

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.
