5 Ways You Know You're The Youngest

Growing up the youngest can be a bit challenging, either you're under the spotlight of your older sibling's or your constantly being picked on by them. Despite the bickering between all of us, you learn that being the youngest isn't so bad after all.

1. Your leftovers were gone the next morning


Whether it was a home cooked meal or from when you went out to eat, your siblings would come home from being out with their friends and eat all your leftovers. You would wake up the next morning to them denying that they ate it.

2. Your name was always called last

When your parents would yell everyone else's name before they could get to yours, you knew you were really in trouble.

3. You always knew that you could cry to get out of things

You would always run to mom or dad crying trying to get your siblings in trouble, then look at them laughing as they got yelled at your for picking on you.

4. You were dragged around with your sibling's friends

Whether it was after their practice or after school you always had to be dragged around with them because you couldn't stay by yourself quiet yet. You were known as their younger sibling, rather than by your own name.

5. You always got your way

You were always the "spoiled" one, whether it was getting to pick what was for dinner or getting a toy at Target just cause you asked for it.


Growing up the youngest....

you always had someone to look up to someone in more ways than one, you always had a ride matter what because they couldn't tell mom and dad no, you always had people there to support you at every game or dance recital, you could always count on them to make you laugh, even if they were the ones making fun of you, and lastly, you always had someone encourage you through every hard time throughout your life.

Despite all the horrible things your siblings did to you growing up, you have grown to realize that you have someone who will always protect you no matter what.

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.
