I wouldn't change it for the world, but being a pastor's kid comes with a lot of assumptions and experiences. Some are typical and everyone knows about them, while some are unique and are only understood by those in the same shoes.

1. Expected to be overly "rebellious."

Not all of us live on the wild side to compensate for more restrictions in our lives.

2. Expected to be "perfect."

On the other hand, we are not perfect and will make mistakes like everyone else.

3. "Oh, you must know everything about the Bible."

Not exactly.

4. Your family takes a nap all at once after church.

5. Missing church is just not an option.

Not unless you are hospitalized.

6. You've been to so many church camps you lost count.

7. Talking to other PKs and just getting each other.

8. You are expected to go up and greet everyone.

9. There are Bible verses that are just engraved in your brain.

10. You catch your name in your parent's sermon.

Yes, please talk about my personal life in front of all these people.

11. Volunteering at church is second nature.

12. There are countless people that claim to have known you when you were little, but you don't remember anything.

13. You learn to appreciate what your parents do for the church and know they work very hard.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
