10 Things Every Young Sibling Has Experienced In Their Life

Danielle Snyder

Being a younger sibling can be a blessing and a curse. We go through some good times and we go through some bad times. Here are 10 things all younger siblings can relate to.

1. The older sibling using the age card

My sister would always pull the "I am older" or "I was born first" whenever it came to who could take the shower first.

2. Getting away with something because you are the cute younger sibling

It doesn't hurt to be mischievous especially when you know you wont get in trouble because you will bat those puppy eyes.

3. Stealing all your older sister's cute clothes.

All of the female siblings can relate to this one. You borrowed your sister's shirt without her knowing but sooner or later you got caught! "All I wanted was to be fashionable"

4. Always trying to hang out with your siblings "cool" friends

Us younger siblings just wanted to hang out with the cool older kids... or your sibling's cute older friend, but we always ended up getting kicked out!

5. Your older sibling always trying to get under your skin

It seems to be an older siblings goal to annoy the living daylight out of his or her younger sibling.

6. Older siblings teasing the younger siblings

Sadly I was the one always getting teased, us younger siblings are so vulnerable. For example, my mom use to tease her younger sister by waking her up on Saturdays, having her think it was a school day and watching her get ready at 11pm thinking it was time for school. Teasing and fighting is all part of sibling love.

7. When your older sibling is having a party and you are stuck in your room.

Your sibling was having a Friday night party and instead of hanging out with them you were told not to leave your room under any circumstance.

8. Laughing when the other sibling is getting yelled at

Watching your parents yell at one of your siblings gave you so much joy. Finally you became the favorite.

9. Your older sibling telling you that you were adopted

I will never forget my sister and I arguing and her telling me that I was adopted. I've heard this is a common thing siblings say to eachother... which I am not sure if that's good or not.

10. Having a bestfriend(s) forever

No matter the situation, your siblins will always be your siblings and they will be there for you through thick and thin and always your best friend.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
