Growing up I never even knew what it would be like to be a single child because I already had 7 other siblings that were older than me, and then a little brother not too long after that. Sometimes things can get crazy when you have so many siblings. But there is also always someone to talk to and vent to when you need someone. I always get the questions like, "What is it like to have so many siblings?" Well, I was never really sure how to answer because it's just something that you have to experience hands on. But there are so many realities of having so many siblings.

1. Christmas is the same, except as you get older you get less gifts.

2. You never have peace and quiet or privacy.

3. They will always be nosy and want to know all your business.

4. Sometimes you have to share your birthday with other siblings.

5. The line to get in the shower is so long in the morning.

6. The nieces and nephews start to take over and get all the attention.

7. Vacations are never an option because there are too many of us.

8. Going out to dinner is a big escapade. Table for 20, please!

9. You have to share a lot of your stuff, including bedrooms.

10. Once you hit 16 you get a job because cars don't buy themselves.

11. They will constantly ask to borrow money so have your wallet ready.

12. Sleeping in the morning is never an option because you'll always be up at the crack of dawn.

13. There's always more than one car in the house but never enough for everyone to have their own.

14. You learn from their mistakes.

15. You wouldn't trade them for the world.

I could never imagine a world without siblings. There would be no one to hang out with or talk to, and you would never get the opportunity of having amazing nieces and nephews. I can say that my siblings are my best friends.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
