Parents Who Have One Child Are Inconsiderate
My little sister and I

When I grow up, and I decide who I want to spend the rest of my life with and have kids, I've always said I want to have at least two children. Mostly because I feel like parents who willingly only have one child are inconsiderate.

When you have a brother or sister, you have a personal best friend. A lot of people go through their lives trying to always have that one person who has been around throughout everything. Some people are fortunate to have found that outside of their families but others haven't. Imagine the feeling of constantly switching friends, having no consistency, and never having one person to go to everything for. Having a sibling can guarantee, having a go to person.� They're someone who is literally dealing with everything you have to deal with because you live in the same situation. Who can comprehend better then someone who get to see it firsthand?

Your sibling is your everything person, the person you fight with, cry with, and laugh with. It's like knowing someone always has your back even when they don't want to. Because as mad as they get with you, they'd never sell you out, or let you go down for something even if you did it. Having a sibling means arguing with one another and then ganging up on someone else who jumps in. It's sharing your secrets unfiltered because of the comfort and the honesty of the relationship. It's having someone you can pour unconditional pure unending love into. It's bribing each other into doing the other dirty deeds for whatever reason. It's knowing that no matter what, someone is there.

A lot of people don't understand why I say, "Parents who have one child are inconsiderate." I just figure, why would I want to deprive my children of having that bond that was provided for me? Of course, I didn't ask for it but I wouldn't rather it any other way.

I loved having someone to come home with after school, someone to mock authority figures with, someone to have inside jokes with even from across the room, and I loved having someone to look up to.�

Maybe I'm a bit biased, but people already have to spend their lives searching for what they want to do, and where they want to go, already having that person minimizes the amount of searching in one's life.

Don't be an inconsiderate parent.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
