3 Things You Hate Your Siblings For Now, But You'll Miss In 10 Years

Growing up, there is very few things more annoying than siblings. Whether your siblings are older, younger, or even the same age, they are just as equally annoying. Most of the time the fighting is either from a difference of opinion, or just trying to show off in front of their friends, which gets really annoying very fast. There are a handful of things that siblings can do to get under your skin, but just know that you will look back on those memories years from now. These are three things that in the future when you're at their wedding, or just telling your kids stories, that you will look back and not only laugh about, but miss.

1. Sharing

This is a daily problem between siblings, no matter of their age. No matter who you are, you most likely do not like to share, especially if it involves food or makeup/hair products. I didn't have a huge issue with sharing growing up since I had three sisters, but there sure was a lot of bickering between them. That one time you didn't give your brother a slice of your pizza or how you didn't let your sister borrow your lipstick for a night is going to be laughed at years from now.

2. They Always Want To Follow You Around

There are going to be days where you're in your room with friends either playing video games, doing your hair, or even just gossiping. Siblings, especially younger, always try to act cool in front of not only their friends, but also your friends. It almost is as if its in our DNA to be as annoying as possible when our siblings friends are around. It may take a few years, but you'll eventually realize your best friends are your own brothers and sisters. They will always be there for you, through thick and thin. As annoying as they may get growing up, they will support you unconditionally.

3. They Help Shape Who You Are Growing Up

All the little things that siblings do throughout your younger years in life help you become the person you will one day be. All the times they mimic you,steal your stuff, and get under your skin, it is all done out of love. When you are one day a parent, all the memories will be brought back. All those flashbacks will not only make you a better parent, but it will strengthen the bond between you and your children.

Years from now when your sitting at your brothers or sisters wedding, you will think back on all these memories. Those times you were once angry and frustrated will turn in to happiness and thankfulness.

Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
