12 Things You Know To Be True When You Are The Middle Child

Birth order has a lot to do with your personality but for some reason it is always the middle children that have the best ones? Weird, I know. Middle children endure some hardships but yet still the best people out there. Here are 12 things almost all middle children can relate to.

1. You are often forgotten about

Although your parents would disagree with this it is still true. You do not demand a lot of attention therefore you do not get as much as the others do.

2. You are the ultimate peace maker

Although you get your laugh in first when your siblings are fighting you are almost always the one to settle the dispute and act as a mediator every time it happens.

3. You are the calmest of the bunch

While your other siblings stress out to the max and over dramatize everything you keep your cool. Everything's gonna be alright.

4. You are the smartest..

But since you are the middle child it goes unnoticed.

5. ...and the best looking simultaneously

However this also goes unnoticed because the oldest usually gets the attention of being cute.

6. You are the least dramatic

While the baby and the oldest are fighting for attention they consequently have to be dramatic about it, but you do not really care to get attention or exert that much energy over exaggerating everything.

7. You get along the best with your parents

By nature you are a very agreeable person and with your stellar personality and respect for others of course you would get along with your parents the best.

8. You are the "easy" child

Your parents have always said you were the easiest child and for the most part you really are but you can also be sneaky since you are the middle child and are not granted as much attention as the others.

9. You do not have as many expectations

The oldest child has to set a good example and the baby has to master everything so you are left just kind of chilling once again.

10. You are the kindest

For some reason the oldest always has a type A personality and the baby is a mixture of both but you are the relaxed, sweet and caring one.

11. Everyone seems to like you

Since you are a peace maker by default you get along with almost everyone and in return a lot of people like you and want to be around you.

12. You are lowkey the favorite but it is highkey understood

You are the favorite with at least one of your parents because you are the "easiest." However, your siblings and your parents won't ever admit that. You and your parent just have an unspoken understanding of it. Who wouldn't like a middle child though? We are the whole package.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
