Babies are joyful; being the baby is joyful, I would know this because I am the baby of the family. Having two older brothers, which was a blessing, because they had to be nice to me and babysit me if my parents went on a date. There are many perks and curses being the baby of the family and I will share them with you.

1. Your teachers always brought up your sibling's achievements and how much they loved them.

This was me on the first day of high school every year because I knew how popular Zach was and I knew how intelligent Justin is. Even when teachers promised me that, "They won't compare you to your siblings", they still did. I guess I was a #legacy.

2. Your parents would often call you the wrong name.

"Mom, is Zach or Justin a girl's name? No, it is not." Like the gif above, I forgot my own name for a second.

3. You had to go out of town for their soccer or basketball games.

My brothers received the athletic gene and I was the one who was dragged to every game. On the bright side, we had to travel to different places, so it was like a whole new world.

4. You were given many hand-me-downs.

If we are talking about my sister-in-law, then yes, and I enjoy the gift of free clothes.

5. If your parents were out, that means you had to go everywhere with your siblings.

Older siblings try to set excellent examples, but when our parents are gone, they know they have the "boss power". My brothers totally knew they had the "boss power".

6. You received everything you put on your Christmas/birthday list.

Even if you already have everything you ever wanted, your parents still find something to buy and give you. They love you with all of their hearts, is that so bad.

7. You were/still are spoiled rotten.

You wear your crown proudly and with pride. Ever since I was a baby, I have had a crown on my head. Thanks, Daddy.

8. Friends of your parents/siblings spoil you as well.

Chris Hemsworth said this best and I think we all agree with Mr. Hemsworth!

9. Because of your older siblings example, you are great with younger children.

Younger children are sweet, joyful and they are the light to any situation! Us, younger children, love babies!

10. You know there are more perks to being the baby than curses and are very thankful for the love everyone gave you.

Us, babies of the family, might get everything we asked for, but we know the definition of love. We love to give thanks and we love to return the love back. I know that I am spoiled by everyone in my life and I would not trade them in for anything!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
