What It's Like To Have Siblings

As Told By "Mike and Dave"

What It's Like To Have Siblings

Growing up with siblings is sometimes a blessing and a curse. You shares memories with your siblings getting into trouble with you as "your partner in crime," or maybe just your sibling getting you into trouble. Recently I just saw the hilarious movie "Mike and Dave" starring Zac Efron and Adam DeVine portrayed as brothers who tend to ruin a lot of family events. As their sisters wedding is approaching, they have to find girls to bring to the wedding as their dates so they will stay out of trouble. While watching the movie, there were several moments that felt familiar to me that I have shared with my siblings. Here are some movie moments from "Mike and Dave" that anyone who has a sibling can relate with:

1. When you accomplish what mom and dad had asked

2. You do get "lumped" in with your other sibling's bad behavior

3. It is always uncomfortable to watch your siblings cry, especially if they are crying because you did something to them

4. But that still doesn't stop us from harassing them

5. We all knew to stop and shut up when we got "the look"

6. We encourage each other to do stupid stuff that could end up killing someone


7. "Why is everything a competition with you?"

8. The youngest child gets everything they want

9. Mom and dad don't believe us when we say "It wasn't our fault"

10. We put the "fun" in dysfunction

11. At the end of it all, we love each other in some sick, twisted way

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
