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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
