10 Things Only Youngest Siblings Will Understand
Toby and Roo

Being the youngest is a more difficult job than most people think. Between constantly having to keep your older siblings' secrets, but still staying the favorite, life could get rough. It is both a blessing and a curse being the baby of the family. You always were accused of being the most spoiled, but you kind of liked it that way. Although everything do you gets compared to your siblings' experiences, one day, you'll learn to find your independence. There are not many pictures of you growing up because people started getting tired by then. Being the oldest sounded awful. They always got blamed when you did something wrong because they “should have been watching you.” The middle child was stuck picking sides. Being the youngest has its downfalls, but you wouldn't trade being the baby for anything in the world.

Here is list of things that only the youngest would understand!

1. No matter how old you get, you'll always be referred to as the "baby"

2. Constantly being accused of being the favorite (deep down you knew it was true)

3. Always being the last to find out everything

4. When your sibling started liking a new star, suddenly you did too

5. The over load of Hand-Me-Downs

6. Your parents never get your name right because they have "too many children"

7. That feeling when your siblings go off to college, and it's like you're an only child for once


8. How your eldest sibling acted when your parents went on a date night and left them in charge

9. Your parents weren't nearly as strict with you as they were your other siblings

10. At the end of the day, you knew no matter what, your siblings would always have your back

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
