To Be A Sibling

You can’t live with them and sometimes you believe you could totally live without them.

One of the most annoying things I could say on this Earth are siblings. You can’t live with them and sometimes you believe you could totally live without them. No matter if you’re the older, the younger or the middle child they get underneath your skin. They fight, punch, pull, shout, and run; half the time they run to tell the parents who did this and who did that.Now don’t get me wrong, siblings can be fun, cute, and kind… when they are sleeping. The older sibling sets the rules, the middle sibling is why there are rules, and the youngest basically agrees to a dictatorship before they’re even born.

No matter which sibling you are, you must deal with some of the same problems. I come from the perspective of being the eldest. Sometimes I imagine being a single child wouldn’t be that bad. Not having to worry about everything you or your younger siblings are doing. When they enter your life you instantly become a second parent, one that bickers and fight with said child. That being said, having siblings is something I wouldn’t trade for all the money in the world.

Being an older sibling is one of the most precious titles and or description to wear and one of the greatest gifts that our parents can give us. I will always be there for them. Whether they are crying, laughing, and angry. I will be here to pick on them, to challenge them when I know they can do better. I will be that “crazy fan” at games or events, not afraid to embarrass them or myself while cheering them on a little too loudly. I promise to never judge, no matter their decisions. I will be there to protect them from harm’s way. I cannot promise to solve all their problems but I can promise that they will not have to face them alone.

This is what it means to be a sibling

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.

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.
