Growing Up With Older Siblings

Growing up with six older siblings was very chaotic, messy, and there were multiple family feuds. Here are 14 things to describe growing up with six siblings.

1) You are never alone.

2) Seriously, you can never take a shower without one of your siblings coming in while you are belting out the lyrics to your favorite Jonas Brothers song.

3) You will always have people on your side no matter what. You and your siblings are like a gang, anyone who messes with one of us messes with all of us.

4) Your siblings are the only ones that can ever make fun of you and can openly laugh in your face when you make a fool of yourself.

5) That being said, your siblings will always be there to give you the harsh reality check throughout life; even if you really did not ask for it. And you never ask for it, trust me.

6) "I never got that when I was younger!" will be said multiple times to you and your parents.

7) Family dinners: you snooze or you lose. It's a fight to get to the food before anyone else can, even if it means tripping and throwing some elbows along the way.

8) If we were not fighting over getting food then it would be to get complete control over the remote. If you did not like the show that was playing then you learned to love it.

9) If mom is mad at you, you think of all of the dirt you have on your siblings that will make you seem like the better child in your mom's eyes.

10) Just one look at your siblings and you know what they are thinking. Sending an SOS look to your siblings to interrupt the conversation when at a family gathering happened a lot.

11) If your siblings are not going to the family party, neither are you.

12) Finding ways to fight without your parents knowing became your new hobby.

13) Your sisters will go through your closet thinking you would not notice them wearing it later on. And I know you did not "get it from a friend."

14) When the parents leave and the oldest kid is left in charge, your prepared to do some serious ass-kissing.

Growing up with six older siblings was something I have always been grateful for. No matter what we go through or say to each other, I knew I always had a best friend, a protector, and a role model with me every step of the way.

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.

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.
