Living with a much younger sibling, broken down into a daily routine.

How to Live with a Two-Year Old
Quote Addicts

First get woken up at 6:30am every morning by having your sibling, male or female, step all over your face and neck.

Next, drag yourself into the world of the living by crawling into the kitchen to make some “seriul” for them. Make sure you get the right cereal or they will cry to mom or get you in trouble.

After having made their cereal, proceed to try and hide from your sibling as you begin to get dressed; cringing as they glom onto your leg.

Holding your pants up, waddle from room to room looking for your mother or something else to distract the creatine that is stuck to your leg.

Complain as your sister climbs up your leg somehow stuck to your waist as you continue to battle them to get to the door. Deal with having to hear them scream as you bolt from the house having found only a momentary distraction.

Sigh as they FaceTimes you, and smile at the undefinable cuteness they radiate over the screen. Talk to them on your mic as though they were actually there.

Return home to see them running around with the dog butt naked, as they see you and immediately attack your leg, as though they were the puppy.

Cringe as you try to work on homework and your sibling continually takes your eraser or pen throwing them about, or as you hear nothing. For if you hear nothing, there is something clearly amiss.

Flip all of your shit as your sibling licks your face and bites your shins. Having no reason but “I’m a tiger”. Laugh as your mother becomes the one being assaulted.

Try to relax in your sleeping bag, though it may be strange, have to deal with your sibling sitting on your face and ‘cutting the cheese’ making it unbearable in the hot bag. Their face cutting into a sly grin as they own up to the awful stench.

Grab your nearest electronic and turn on to a mindless tv show in order to get some peace and quiet. End up getting sat on as they enjoy the show.


Walk into the kitchen to grab yourself something to eat before dinner is made and be hounded constantly to give them some though they can't have any.

Experience a temper tantrum and be blamed for having them fall out. Roll your eyes as your sibling evilly smiles at you, their tiny sharp teeth covered in your sweet chocolate chip ice cream.

Help to distract your now crabby sibling as your mom goes to cook. Don’t tickle them too much or they will kick.

Try to cram in any homework you might have forgotten about and end up getting tiny handprints all over the page as your sibling has just finished eating.

Fight your sibling on whether they need a diaper or not. Potty training hasn’t quite gotten very popular. Proceed this with caution, for they know how to use their limbs for evil.

Praise God for the silence that ensues as your sibling begins to wind down. Now the silence can be counted as a win.

Admire the sheer adorable and vulnerable face as your sibling sleeps in your mother's room, far from you. Close the door so they don’t hear the fun in the living room.

Have a late night with just the girls, ice cream and Sherlock. Only to be disturbed as your sibling wakes up alone, worried that everyone had left.

Continue to watch tv until late at night knowing that the next morning you will have to repeat the cycle.

Go to bed and revel in the thought that tomorrow your own personal alarm will wake you up.

Finally fall asleep after thirty minutes of laying awake and staring at the ceiling dreaming of how you’ll be woken up tomorrow.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
