8 Things You Know To Be True If You're The Little Sister

Being the younger sister has it's ups and downs, that's for sure. Although you may be the "baby" of the family and "always get your way," that is a lie. Older sisters rule the world and they know it. Here are 8 things that every younger sister can relate to.

1. You are given the lifelong gift of sitting in the backseat.

Regardless of who called shotgun first, you always lose. The only time you get to sit in the passenger seat is when your older sibling isn’t there.

2. Your outfit choice is never approved.

Regardless of how lit your outfit is, it’s either "too catchy", doesn’t match at all, you’re "trying to be hipster" or you copied your older sister.

3. Regardless of how awesome your achievement is, your older sister has already done it.

Whether it is passing your driver's test, making the varsity team, obsessing over a celebrity, or that cool new song you found, she did it first.

4. Teachers call you by your older sister's name instead of yours.


No matter how many times you correct them, your name never sticks.

5. You are the first accused of moving/never returning an item you borrowed.

As usual, the necklace or shoes that “you never returned” eventually show up right where you said they'd be.

6. Your older sister is always right.

No matter how correct you are, you will always be wrong. Regardless of how good you defend yourself, you will never win. If she supports her argument with "because I'm the oldest," it's over.

7. Receiving the hand-me-downs.

Your sister will get the new up-to-date clothes from Urban Outfitters, while you’re expected to rock that vintage Ed Hardy shirt and bedazzled jeans. (hah, yeah right, we’re heading to American Eagle)

8. Your sister will always be your best friend.

No one will be there for you like your older sister. Even though you’re the "annoying little sister," that "always ruins her plans," she will always have your back, give you advice, and support you all through life. (Also, she’ll keep those secrets from mom and dad for you, because she knows you’ve got more dirt on her)

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.

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.
