7 Signs You're The Oldest Sibling
Eveningtimes.com

Any child knows how tough of a job it can be to not hurt your sibling anytime they make you mad. The worst part is sharing clothes, rooms, food and love from your parents. An even bigger job is being the oldest sibling. If you do not have this responsibility then you might want to scroll through and thank your older sibling(s). If that big sibling job happens to be yours then you will relate to this all too well.

1. At 16 you look like a soccer mom

Rethink wishing for that license, all it means is a ticket to picking up your little siblings from school when your parents are caught up at work.

2. You're an unpaid tutor

Just when you thought you were done withhomework you have to help someone else as if you remember 3rd grade math.

3. You're protective

If someone utters one bad word about your sibling their going down. Even if it's something you secretly agree with.

4. Chores

Your little sibling claims their "too little" to do chores and you're stuck with them.

5. You don't know what privacy is

They are in your business 24/7. Don't even think about shutting your room and sleeping.

6. You've been mistaken as their parent a few times

They look just like you, act just like you and sometimes get mistaken as your own kid. Sometimes it's easiest to pretend you're the parent.

7. You're bored without them

Once you finally get some peace and quiet you realize how boring life really is without them.

Regardless of the extra chores, the fights and the hard middle school math problems, siblings are great. Being an only child would be so boring. The way I see it, us siblings are already preparing for adulthood.

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.

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.
