Why Being The Oldest Brother Is The Best

It's good to be king.

Why Being The Oldest Brother Is The Best

For as long as there have been brothers, there has been one truth: the oldest brother is always the best. This truth is obvious and evident. I know because I have two baby brothers myself, yet some people refuse to accept it. In order to educate the non-believers, I will proceed to present some evidence.

Oldest brothers are the smartest.

Everyone knows that the older you get, the wiser you get. Being the oldest means you know absolutely everything about everything. At no point is your judgement to be questioned. You know everything there is to know about girls, school, sports and being cool. Essentially, questioning you is like questioning the word of God.

Oldest brothers always win the fights.

Being the crafty bastard I am, I went for the sneak attack. Et tu, Dill?

Being the oldest brother, you get quite the head start on strength training. This training is wholly necessary, because brotherly fights are some of the most savage battles known to mankind. Usually, you're the biggest and therefore strongest. Most importantly however, after years of being king, you have the psychological edge on them. Is it better to be feared or respected? It doesn't matter, because you're going to be the one pile-driving them into the pool anyway.

Oldest brother always gets to be Player 1.

This was always our favorite stage.

It's an unspoken rule that top dogalways gets to be Player 1. It is a quick and decisive way to establish dominance when playing video games. Because I always had the God-given right to be Player 1, my little brothers always fought over who got to be Player 2. Pathetic. Also, Player 1 obviously gets to decide the rules of each match. Yes Tyler, we're playing Smash Bros and yes, we're being the red team. I don't care if you think red Kirby looks like shit, red is my favorite color so it's yours now, too. And Dill, if you pick Snake one more goddamn time, I swear to God I'm going to throw you out that window.

In conclusion, as oldest brothers, we have a duty: to be a king and a role model. You'll be the one winning the fights, but you also have to show them how to fend for themselves. As well all know, Hell hath no fury like brothers scorned.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
