8 Signs You're a Younger Sibling
Monica Lieving

Being a younger sibling can be awesome yet frustrating. You never get to be player one in a video game, you usually have to do what they tell you, and if you don't they won't let you forget it. Here are 8 other signs that prove you're a younger sibling.

1. You never got to ride shotgun.

If you’re the younger sibling like I am, you probably don’t have many memories of sitting shotgun when you were with just your mom or dad. No matter how many times you ran for the passenger door, you were most likely shoved to the side and told to sit in the back.


2. You were more of a servant than a sibling.

Whether it be getting them a glass of water, turning the lights off, or handing them toilet paper when they ran out, you probably have experienced most of these annoyingly simple demands as a younger sibling.


3. Hand-Me-Downs

Do I even need to explain?


4. Being told you’re adopted.

I can’t even tell you how many times my sister told me I was adopted. And how many times I believed her.


5. “Are you related to (insert older sibling’s name)?”

Being a younger sibling and growing up in a small town, I was always asked if I was related to my older sister. Thankfully my sister was a good example so it turned out great for me, but if your older sibling wasn’t the best student, you probably weren’t so quick to claim them.


6. You could always blame everything on them.

Let’s be honest younger siblings, even if it was our fault we always blamed it on them. Even though they knew it was us, they eventually got over it so bless their souls.


7. We get the nice stuff even earlier in life.

For example, when parents decide to buy your older sibling something nice, we like to play the infamous “but it’s only fair if I get it too” card. Also, my sister had to wait until she was 16 to get a cell phone, and I got one when I was 13.


8. Your older sibling loves you anyways.

Despite the torture and annoyance we used to/still put them through, they love us anyways. We annoy them, get them in trouble, and drive them crazy yet they still put up with us. So thank you to all of the older siblings out there for always putting up with us… even if it’s only because you have to.

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.
