10 Obvious Signs You're The Youngest Sibling Of 3 Or More Kids

You're the baby of the family and it definitely shows.

When you have multiple siblings, each of you plays a specific role and probably see the world differently because of it. The oldest child is usually the most confident, protective, and of course the leader of the pack. The middle child tends to be the peacemaker since they are typically close in age with both younger and older siblings and can relate to both.

We as the younger siblings tend to have more wisdom than those around us who don't have older siblings to teach them and help them along the way. This shapes us into the people that we become when we enter into the real world and we wouldn't have it any other way.

You can confidently say that everyone in the family took part in shaping the person that you are today.

You're probably a little more sensitive because you were the most spoiled.

You're also more willing to take risks since most younger children are able to get away with more than their older siblings.

If anyone ever threatens your wellbeing, you aren't scared because you know you have backup.

You have grown up to be a patient person because you've always had to wait your turn with everything such as toys, TV Shows, using the bathroom, etc.

You own many, many hand-me-downs.

You handle new obstacles easily because you got to observe your older siblings handle them first (first day of high school, first day of college, first dates, etc).

You're tough because while you're older siblings can often be your best friend, they can also be your biggest bully.

You've always been mature for your age because you had your older siblings to look up to.

You're always referred to as "so and so's brother or sister" but you became used to it very early on in life.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
