It's not easy being the youngest sibling, especially if you've got such big shoes to fill. People expect you to be just like your brothers and sisters, regardless of how different you are in every possible way. With every family gathering and grocery store run in, you're asked an overabundant amount of questions regarding your older siblings and their lives and told things you already know about yourself in comparison to them. The questions fall under a wide range of topics, most of which I can't even answer, while people tend to point out the obvious including every single difference between you and your brothers. Just to name a few:

1. “Oh you're (insert sibling name)’s little sister?” Yes. Most people call me by my first name but that works as well. Really, call me whatever, I'm not mad.

2. “Are you as good of a student as your sister was?” Probably not if you have to ask. But I'll get back to you once the semester ends.

3. “Awww you’re the baby!” If by baby you mean 19, yes, I am the baby. And I have a feeling I always will be.

4. “I heard your sister just (insert something noteworthy)!” Yes she did. And I'm doing well too, thanks!

5. “You look beautiful (insert siblings name)! So grown up!” Thank you, but you have the wrong kid.

6. “You’re the last one to go off to college, huh?” Considering I couldn't go when my siblings were 18 and I was 12, yes. I am the last one.

7. "Didn't that used to be your sister's shirt?" Okay yes. And it got passed down to me. Let's not talk about it. It's fine.

8. “You have a boyfriend?! How’d your big brothers handle that!” If I refer to him as my boyfriend, then you know my brothers handled it better than expected.

9. "You and your siblings are so different it's unbelievable." I actually find it quite believable, and I'm almost positive that's your way of politely telling me I'm the obnoxious one.

Nonetheless, I am a proud little sister and will gladly (I use that term loosely) answer any questions about my siblings. I actually wouldn't have it any other way.
