You Know You're The Youngest When
Odyssey

Some of us have the spoiled rotten image that we need to break and others just don't need to. If you are the youngest of your siblings, you'll know a few things. Some of them bad and some of them great! There's always the good and the bad when it comes to list. Even people who are just a younger sibling can relate to some of these. Or even if you're the baby of all your cousins. We all know the cousins I'm talking about. But overall, the youngest of the cousins, siblings, or even of your gender, can relate to these ten things.

1) You learn from your siblings mistakes.

And we learn how to not make those mistakes, or just not get caught. Learn from them the proper way to sneak around.

2) You will always be the baby to your mom, even if you're an adult.

It's not always a bad thing but it can be annoying when she still cleans your face with the old thumb and spit.


3) You most likely get away with everything.

And this annoys your siblings so much, which leads to more fighting for you to get away with.


4) You know just how to push your older siblings buttons.

It's the greatest weapon we have, and it's the greatest blackmail.


5) Unfortunately, the know how to do the same exact thing to you.

And they can do it so you get in trouble.


6) You can seem much more mature than you actually are.

I mean you see how older people act all the time so you end up picking up a thing or two.


7) But you also know how to be extremely immature when you want.

Not everyone has to thing you're mature. It's more fun, especially when you're siblings join you.


8) You end up getting everything younger than your sibling.

You can date at a younger age, you get your cell phone earlier, and you get to go places they didn't at your age.


9) But most of the time it's because they make your older siblings be the chaperone.

And they will make your time a awful time if they want to.


10) You know you'll always be the favorite.

You know it's true and so do your siblings.


Over all, being the youngest isn't the worse thing. We get privileges that most people don't get. And we tend to be the nicest people on the play ground. So next time says, "You're the youngest? That must be annoying." Just look at them and shrug. They don't need to know how great it actually is. Yeah we tend to get shoved to the back of the care or forgotten about, but we all know how to work our way around people and to make them feel guilty. We will always and forever have the upper hand in this fight. So wear how young you are with pride and remember that someday you'll have children and know all the tricks of the youngest child.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
