When I was five-years-old, I BEGGED my mom to have another kid so I could be the big sister I always dreamed of. My over-sized brown eyes envisioned having a little nugget that I could play board games with, write stories with, go on exciting adventures with, and most importantly, have as a best friend.
It wasn't until I was about ten-years-old (when it became evident that I would forever be an only child), that I realized that having a sibling would have been the most catastrophic, disastrous, and horrifying event to possibly occur.
Oh God, I am so blessed that I never had to deal with a bratty little brother or obnoxious older sister. I am forever thankful that my mom never had another baby, except for the extraordinary, unprecedented ME.
Being an only child has its perks, but my whole life changed when I came to college two years ago. I was always accustomed to having my own room, getting parental attention, and, well... being spoiled.
