8 Signs You Grew Up With Siblings

Siblings: sometimes you love them, sometimes you can't stand them. But no matter what, you'll always be lifelong friends and confidantes. If you're like me, and you grew up with siblings, you'll agree with every one of these statements.


1. Your parents will call you by your sibling's name.

But, honestly, by now you're so used to it that you don't correct them anymore. As long as you don't get the dog's name, it's all good (but it's definitely happened before).


2. People tell you how much you look like your siblings.

You either resent it or revel in it. Let's be real, I revel in it. My sisters are gorgeous.


3. You got the same gift in different colors.

How else will you know whose headphones got stuck in the laundry?


4. Hand-me-downs.

For older siblings, it was the best way to clean your closet. For younger siblings, it was like Christmas morning except you knew what you were (finally) getting.


5. You secretly think your parents have a favorite child.

You know they probably don't, and that they love you all equally, but you can't help but wonder sometimes.


6. Sharing is still hard, but you're used to it.

We were all secretly jealous of the kids without siblings who never had to share a room.

Siblings are your friends forever. Through all the memories you've shared (the good, bad, and hilarious), you can't beat that unbreakable sibling bond.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

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…

Great Value Colleges

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.
