When You Have The Same Birthday As Your Parent
Carlie Wiseley

My Dad and I just had a birthday...together. I was born on his birthday, and that's pretty cool. His mom and her dad also shared a birthday. I guess it just runs in the family! From sharing your cake to finding that perfect card, if you share a birthday with your parent you know how special, and crazy, it can be.

1. All cake decisions must be made jointly

Well...sort of...

2. You have recently (jokingly) threatened your parent with princess birthday cake


3. You have the same zodiac sign so you're hard headed in the same ways

But you have also been caught scheming together. What? We didn't do anything!

4. You were their birthday gift the year you were born...

5. And you have tried to recycle yourself as a gift because you can't come up with another idea

Let's just stick that bow on my head and recycle me for every holiday. I'm the best present ever anyway, right?

5. Your parent spends a lot of their own birthdays chaperoning your parties

6. When you tell people you two share a birthday, this is their reaction:

Wait, wait, wait. Really??? That is so cool! But see this look of fear in my eyes, that's because I'm afraid I might forget, and only remember one of your birthdays.

7. No card ever adequately describes the situation.

9. That one time you weren't together on your birthday and it was the weirdest day ever

Wait, what do I do?

10. It gets hard to sneak around and figure out gifts when there's two people to buy for

Uh oh, I've been caught

11. You two are the only people allowed to pick on each other the whole day

But seriously, stop shoving cake in my face now.

12. Sharing your birthday makes it so much more special

Here, I'll even share OUR cake with you!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
