Growing Up With Older Siblings

Growing up with six older siblings was very chaotic, messy, and there were multiple family feuds. Here are 14 things to describe growing up with six siblings.

1) You are never alone.

2) Seriously, you can never take a shower without one of your siblings coming in while you are belting out the lyrics to your favorite Jonas Brothers song.

3) You will always have people on your side no matter what. You and your siblings are like a gang, anyone who messes with one of us messes with all of us.

4) Your siblings are the only ones that can ever make fun of you and can openly laugh in your face when you make a fool of yourself.

5) That being said, your siblings will always be there to give you the harsh reality check throughout life; even if you really did not ask for it. And you never ask for it, trust me.

6) "I never got that when I was younger!" will be said multiple times to you and your parents.

7) Family dinners: you snooze or you lose. It's a fight to get to the food before anyone else can, even if it means tripping and throwing some elbows along the way.

8) If we were not fighting over getting food then it would be to get complete control over the remote. If you did not like the show that was playing then you learned to love it.

9) If mom is mad at you, you think of all of the dirt you have on your siblings that will make you seem like the better child in your mom's eyes.

10) Just one look at your siblings and you know what they are thinking. Sending an SOS look to your siblings to interrupt the conversation when at a family gathering happened a lot.

11) If your siblings are not going to the family party, neither are you.

12) Finding ways to fight without your parents knowing became your new hobby.

13) Your sisters will go through your closet thinking you would not notice them wearing it later on. And I know you did not "get it from a friend."

14) When the parents leave and the oldest kid is left in charge, your prepared to do some serious ass-kissing.

Growing up with six older siblings was something I have always been grateful for. No matter what we go through or say to each other, I knew I always had a best friend, a protector, and a role model with me every step of the way.

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.
