11 Things You Know to be True if You Grew Up with Siblings
Stacey Labissiere

When you think back to the moment when you parents told you that you were going to have a younger sibling you were the world's most angry little kid. How dare they have another child, don't they realize that I am the best thing that they have, why would they need another. But after the birth of your younger sibling, you learned and realized that actually having a younger sibling isn't bad.... sometimes. There were plenty of times they made you want to scream, but you know that you wouldn't give them up for the world. Here are a few things you know to be true growing up with siblings.

1. That thing that you thought you "lost" was in their room the whole time

I cannot explain to you how many times I have thought I lost a shirt and then I have asked my sister if I could borrow a pencil and when I walk into her room I see my shirt hanging in her closet

2. Covering up the TV box so they couldn't change the channel because you were watching your show

Honestly, I don't think that doing that actually worked, but we were definitely determined as a kid to make sure we got to keep watching our show

3. Telling your sibling they could hit you back after you hit them too hard and they started to cry

4. When you are getting yelled at by your parents and you see your sibling laughing in the background

I. Will. End.You.

5. "If you tell on me then both of us will get in trouble."

One of the biggest lies told to us in our childhood.

6. "You guys look exactly alike"

Where.

7. Getting blamed for something that your younger sibling did

8. Having to hide your leftovers from a restaurant so your sibling didn't eat it

9. The feeling of superiority when you have been good and your parents yell at your sibling for being bad

Your parents telling your siblings that they should try to be more like you because you would never do what they just did.

10. They come in clutch when you run out of toilet paper

11. You can always count on them for a good laugh

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.

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.
