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.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
