My siblings are my biggest blessings.

10 Perks Of Having A Younger Sibling
Sabrina Mancini

Having younger siblings can be a pain in the butt, I grew up with two. But I wouldn't change a thing, my siblings are my biggest blessings.

1. Their closet is your closet

Growing up, my sister and I always shared clothes, my closet is her closet. As for my brother, we don't share clothes but we share shoes! Well, I borrow his shoes, he doesn't borrow mine. Recently he bought a pair of "Tims" that I just had to have for the day.

2. They look up to you

At first it was annoying to have someone copying your every move, but as we grew older and they started coming to me for advice or help with homework, I love being the one to help them. My sister comes to me for advice on boys, school and everything in between. My brother comes to me for homework help, I love the fact that both of them look up to me.

3. They give you their honest opinions

Both of my siblings give me their honest opinions, they don't sugarcoat anything. If my siblings didn't like what I was wearing, they would tell me and help me find something that looked better.

4. You can communicate without speaking

We walk into the room and don't even have to say anything, we already know what each other is thinking.

5. Inside jokes

Everyone has an "inside joke" with someone, but having "inside jokes" with your siblings is the best. Nobody would understand the things you and your siblings find absolutely hilarious. It's like having the same sense of humor.

6. Partners in crime

Your siblings always have your back, no matter what the situation is, which one of you is in trouble, you always have each other covered

7. Automatic best friend

You'll never not have a friend when you have siblings. No matter how much we argue, my siblings are my best friends and always will be.

8. You get to watch them grow up

Time flies! My (not so little) sister will be starting high school next year and my brother will be starting middle school. They're growing up so fast but I love being there to watch them every step of the way.

9. They love you unconditionally

12/20/2002 and 02/05/2006 were the best days of my life, the two days my siblings were born. I've loved them since day one and I know they feel the same way.

10. Life is just better with siblings

You'll never be alone when you have a sibling, they'll be by your side through it all

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
