10 pros of being the baby Sibling

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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
