12 Things You Know To Be True When You Are The Middle Child

Birth order has a lot to do with your personality but for some reason it is always the middle children that have the best ones? Weird, I know. Middle children endure some hardships but yet still the best people out there. Here are 12 things almost all middle children can relate to.

1. You are often forgotten about

Although your parents would disagree with this it is still true. You do not demand a lot of attention therefore you do not get as much as the others do.

2. You are the ultimate peace maker

Although you get your laugh in first when your siblings are fighting you are almost always the one to settle the dispute and act as a mediator every time it happens.

3. You are the calmest of the bunch

While your other siblings stress out to the max and over dramatize everything you keep your cool. Everything's gonna be alright.

4. You are the smartest..

But since you are the middle child it goes unnoticed.

5. ...and the best looking simultaneously

However this also goes unnoticed because the oldest usually gets the attention of being cute.

6. You are the least dramatic

While the baby and the oldest are fighting for attention they consequently have to be dramatic about it, but you do not really care to get attention or exert that much energy over exaggerating everything.

7. You get along the best with your parents

By nature you are a very agreeable person and with your stellar personality and respect for others of course you would get along with your parents the best.

8. You are the "easy" child

Your parents have always said you were the easiest child and for the most part you really are but you can also be sneaky since you are the middle child and are not granted as much attention as the others.

9. You do not have as many expectations

The oldest child has to set a good example and the baby has to master everything so you are left just kind of chilling once again.

10. You are the kindest

For some reason the oldest always has a type A personality and the baby is a mixture of both but you are the relaxed, sweet and caring one.

11. Everyone seems to like you

Since you are a peace maker by default you get along with almost everyone and in return a lot of people like you and want to be around you.

12. You are lowkey the favorite but it is highkey understood

You are the favorite with at least one of your parents because you are the "easiest." However, your siblings and your parents won't ever admit that. You and your parent just have an unspoken understanding of it. Who wouldn't like a middle child though? We are the whole package.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
