Big Family Problems

The only thing that can hold us is Heaven.

Big Family Problems
Blair Carrier

There are a few things that happen when you come from a BIG family. Here is what I've experienced with my family.

1. There are always jokes to be said

Especially in my family where we all have what people call "sarcasm." It is a beautiful thing to experience, except when you are on the receiving end. That is when things can start to get hairy.

2. There will always be arguments

When you always have a big group, there are going to be disagreements. It is inevitable. We are all different people, therefore we all have different points of view.

3. Someone always gets hurt

When you have a bunch of people or a group of children under the age of fifteen, then they are silly and someone always gets hurt.

4. There are never enough beds

When there are as many people in your family as there are in ours, then there are blowup beds and pallets everywhere.

5. Who's who?

Everybody's name always gets mixed up because there are so many. It is bad when even the grandparents name all of them before they get to you.

6. Someone always feels left out

There is always that one in every family.

7. There is always a caravan

When going somewhere as a family, we have to take several cars because we can't fit in to one.

8. Restaurants can't hold us

There is usually never a big enough table for all of us. Oh well, looks like I'm at the kids table once again, even though I'm twenty-one.

9. We are always waiting on the same person every time

You know who you are.

10. We take up 2-3 pews

If restaurants can't hold us, then how could one pew hold us?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
