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

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
