10 pros of being the baby Sibling
Sarah Soares

Growing up I wished I had a younger brother or sister and, of course, that did not happen. But now I look back and realize that being the youngest in your house is actually the best thing ever. If you're the baby of your family you definitely can relate to these 10 things.

1. You get away with anything and everything.

Giphy

Because how could you possibly get in trouble when you have an older sibling(s) to blame? Just fake cry and boom it's their fault.

2. You don't have any one who bothers you and your friends.

Giphy

I 100% used to hang out in the same room as my sister and her friends just because I could annoy my sister and get away with it.

3. There's no one under you to have spy on you.

Giphy

Again, I 100% spied on my sister and her boyfriend from every window in the house.

4. You get to do things at a younger age than your older sibling(s).

Giphy

Because your parents don't want to hear all of the complaining. Fun fact: I got my first laptop at a way younger age than my sister.

5. Your parents don't micromanage you.

Giphy

Not they have two or more kids to watch after and not just one, so that means more freedom.

6. You get all their clothes.

Giphy

When I was little I didn't like this, but now that I'm older I actually like it, I was a pretty fly 3rd grader in my purple Jesus is my homeboy shirt.

7. You learn from their mistakes.

Giphy

Learning from your older sibling(s) mistakes is hands down on elf the best things ever, because not only will not get in trouble from doing it BUT you end up looking like the better child, and that gives you bragging rights ;)

8. You don't have to share.

Giphy

Selfish but true. I would say that sharing is caring but I don't care.

9. You have less responsibilities.

Giphy

The older sibling(s) should do the most right? Isn't that how that works?

10. No one is going to mess with you.

Giphy

Having an older sibling(s) is like having you're own personal body guard.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
