10 pros of being the baby Sibling
Sarah Soares

Growing up I wished I had a younger brother or sister and, of course, that did not happen. But now I look back and realize that being the youngest in your house is actually the best thing ever. If you're the baby of your family you definitely can relate to these 10 things.

1. You get away with anything and everything.

Giphy

Because how could you possibly get in trouble when you have an older sibling(s) to blame? Just fake cry and boom it's their fault.

2. You don't have any one who bothers you and your friends.

Giphy

I 100% used to hang out in the same room as my sister and her friends just because I could annoy my sister and get away with it.

3. There's no one under you to have spy on you.

Giphy

Again, I 100% spied on my sister and her boyfriend from every window in the house.

4. You get to do things at a younger age than your older sibling(s).

Giphy

Because your parents don't want to hear all of the complaining. Fun fact: I got my first laptop at a way younger age than my sister.

5. Your parents don't micromanage you.

Giphy

Not they have two or more kids to watch after and not just one, so that means more freedom.

6. You get all their clothes.

Giphy

When I was little I didn't like this, but now that I'm older I actually like it, I was a pretty fly 3rd grader in my purple Jesus is my homeboy shirt.

7. You learn from their mistakes.

Giphy

Learning from your older sibling(s) mistakes is hands down on elf the best things ever, because not only will not get in trouble from doing it BUT you end up looking like the better child, and that gives you bragging rights ;)

8. You don't have to share.

Giphy

Selfish but true. I would say that sharing is caring but I don't care.

9. You have less responsibilities.

Giphy

The older sibling(s) should do the most right? Isn't that how that works?

10. No one is going to mess with you.

Giphy

Having an older sibling(s) is like having you're own personal body guard.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
