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.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
