9 Things Being the Youngest Gets You

There are perks to being the baby!

9 Things Being the Youngest Gets You

1. FREE FOOD

Siblings usually get real people jobs before you so they can give you food and buy you food and do a lot of things with food that you do not have to pay for!

2. FREE RIDES

Your older sibling will probably get their license before you so then your parents will force them to drive you to your friend's house or your soccer practice! Of course, this makes you feel like the cool kid because at least you aren't riding the bus or your parents are not picking you up!

3. FREE CLOTHES

Half the time if someone asks me where I got a piece of my outfit I say My Sister's Closet, sounds like a boutique right... but I literally mean my sister gave this to me!

4. YOUR TRADITIONS RIPPED AWAY

I never said all things it gets you are positives! Since my oldest sister is 9 years older than me when she was 20 I was 11 so of course, the Easter Bunny came but now when I am almost 20 she is 29 and the Easter Bunny is getting a little tired of making Easter baskets. My excuse is that she got them when she was 20 so I deserve one still! Also now that she has a husband and lives across the country I no longer get to see her every Christmas morning.

5. MORE PRESENTS

Again since your siblings have a real job they can afford to buy you presents! Instead of just birthday presents from mom and dad you get some from your older sisters and older brother!!

6. BEST FRIENDS

These are the only friends that 100% understand your family! You never have to explain which cousin is which and which uncle they belong to! They were probably your first roommate so you could always have those late night talks with someone!

7. FREE THERAPIST

Not only those late night talks but also during the day! They will have a little more life experience but aren't completely from another generation! They can help guide you through high school and those dumb boyfriends you had and help you make-up with your best friend!

8. MOM AND DAD UNDERSTANDERS

No one will ever understand how your parents really are except your siblings. They may also help you when it comes to rules! Hopefully, they can make your parents a little more lenient!

9. LOVE

Siblings will always love you even if you fart in their face or post the embarrassing picture of them at the Christmas party! They will laugh with you and cry with you but always be with you!

I know for a fact I would be a completely different person if I was not the youngest with my three older siblings and now two brother-in-laws that I have!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
