Being the youngest child is a bittersweet experience, sometimes you get the perks and sometimes you are treated like a baby. Every day is different when you are the youngest sibling, but one thing is for sure, there isn't a character more relatable than Kevin McCallister. He is the perfect example of what we all go through when we've grown up being the youngest in our family. So if you've ever seen Home Alone, and you'd describe yourself as the Kevin McCallister of your family, then here are some things you might have experienced as the youngest child.

You're arguably the most mature of your family

You know what to do in a crisis due to the amount of learning experiences you've learned from your siblings. You learned from their mistakes and are quite the responsible one.

Most of your friends aren't the youngest sibling

You find yourself gravitating towards those friends who aren't the youngest siblings and maybe it's because they are too similar to you.

You love Christmas

Growing up you were aways surrounded and protected by your older siblings. You love being with your family and friends but have learned to love being by yourself and recharging.

You're full of wisdom


Your friends often come to your for advice and it's all due to the fact that you learned it all from your siblings. Most everything you know, one of your older siblings taught you.

You are strong

You grew up being subtly picked on by your siblings so you have thick skin. You also did the same to them, so you know your limits with words and violence.

You know how to have a good time

You most likely are the outgoing one of your family and love to have some fun. You grew up being silly with your family, and that silly fun side has stayed with you.

You are the favorite child

Okay this is probably not true, but growing up, all your siblings looked at you like a baby, so they feel the need to protect you. Even if they know it or not, they have a special love for their youngest sibling and your parents see you the same way!

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.
