10 Signs You're The Youngest Child

1. You are probably the loudest in your family

Last week my mom said this to me: "You are by far the smallest but loudest person in our family."

2. You are an entertainer.

You may not be the heir to the throne, but you sure know how to make people laugh!

3. You know the ropes.

Dating? You sent your older sibling off on their first one. College? You've visited already. The future is not intimidating, because someone else lived it first (and has taught you a thing or two about growing up)

4. You always wanted to be like your older sibling(s).

Either you or your parents made your older sibling include you in their plans...but you always had fun! Growing up, all I ever wanted to do was hang out with my older sister and her friends. They always accepted me with open arms and always treated me like I was their sibling.

5. You get privileges way earlier than your sibling did.

Your older sibling probably had to fight tooth and nail for their first phone...but all you had to do was ask. Your parents have mellowed out a little bit and learned to pick their battles.

6. Speaking of which, your parents were probably more lenient with you.

7. Hand-me-downs are a privilege.

Remember that cute sweater your older sister wouldn't let you borrow? Congratulations, she got a new one-- it's yours now!

8. Your older sibling was always there for you.

She did your makeup for your first homecoming dance. He taught you what electives were the best to take in high school. Even if y'all fought, the parental love and (sometimes unwarranted) advice of your older sibling was always available.

9. You grew up fast.

You are often called an "old soul" and that's probably because you lived your life catching up to the future.

10. No matter how old you are, you will always be the baby.

My friends and I have always been known by our parents as the "little girls." At the age of 22, that title still remains.

I am infinitely grateful to have learned from, been led by, and loved by my older sister. It isn't always easy being the youngest but it sure is the most fun place to be in the family line up.

Although all youngest siblings often envy their older siblings, the older I get the more I realize that I would never trade the adventures being the youngest brings. To my sister: thank you for always including me, caring for me, and letting me follow in your footsteps!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
