Siblings can be some of the best and worst things in your life. Every only child wishes they had a sibling, but they don't realize how lucky they are or all the struggles that come with having siblings. Here are just some of the many struggles you may face if you have brothers or sisters:

1. They think all of your stuff is theirs.

Don’t you just love finding all of your lost clothes in your siblings rooms? I know I do!

2. There is a constant battle for everything.

You always have to fight to watch your favorite show, fight for shower time in the morning, and even have to fight for the last leftover slice of pizza in the fridge.

3. When you hit your sibling and they start crying, you have to bribe them so they won’t tell your mom.

I may be guilty of this…


4. Getting told 24/7 how much you look alike.

Yes we get it. We have the same parents which probably means we are supposed to look a little similar.

5. Getting called by your siblings names.

“Cameron, Mariah, Kelsey….whatever your name is!”

6. Recording embarrassing things that they do and putting it on your snap story or vice versa.

It is all fun and games until you are the one being recorded.

7. When your mom puts you in charge when she is gone and your siblings don't listen to you whatsoever.

“You aren’t the boss of me!”

“Yes I am, Mom put me in charge! I will call her if you don't start listening.”

8. Having to break the news to your siblings that they are actually adopted.

I think every sibling has said this once or twice in their life.

9. When you find out your mom took your other siblings out to eat without you…

10. When your siblings come into your room and don’t shut the door on the way out.

11. When they get picked on by someone and you actually have to stand up for them because you are the only one that’s allowed to do that.


12. Having to babysit your siblings and be their taxis so your mom doesn’t have to pay someone else to do it.

13. Trying not to laugh when your sibling gets in trouble for something you actually did.

14. When you sign onto Netflix and see this screen because your siblings are watching Netflix too.

This has to be the worst

15. Even though they are complete pain in the butts, you still have to love them anyways and be there for them.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
