Why are younger siblings so annoying?

-

 Hey y'all!

A lot of us reading this post are either a single child or a younger or an older child(duh, obviously). 

If you're an older sibling reading this, trust me you'll love it; but if you're a younger one, sorry but this is going to be calling out all your very annoying antics that you don't get scolded for and seem to get away with -_- If you're neither, enjoy me ranting about how annoying younger siblings can get :)

I am an older sibling with an age difference of 5 years with my sister and trust me when I say, no matter what the age gap is, the younger siblings are always very galling. Right from kicking you off the bed when you're asleep to singing creepy songs in the middle of the night to blackmailing you with the smallest things ever-they've done it all; and most times don't even regret and apologise for it.

Just a few of the annoying things my younger sister has done includes stealing my clothes, coming into my room while I was in a class and turning on my mic and camera "accidently", secretly taking my phone to see my messages and putting the blame on me in situations where she was clearly at fault.

And the worst part is, most of the time, they don't even get scolded for it😒

I'm sure most of us have had our younger siblings tag along in a social situation with you-whether you're just going down to play or have some people of your age home- every single time in my case(It's so vexing right?) She would constantly nag and beg at my feet and make those puppy eyes indicating "Please take me" and at times it gets so frustrating that you can't even no and have to take them with you :(

Nevertheless, its not all bad. They're your partners in crime and will definitely help you cover up your gaffes-of course there's a very real chance they will threaten you by scaring you with the fact that they'll tell your parents if you don't do something for them :P

They'll party with you late at night and help you sneak food in from the kitchen as well as give you "moral support" when you require it at 3 a.m. 

Of course there are plenty of pros to being the older sibling too :)

You get to 'friendly' bully them into doing things for you, you have a lot freedom to do things than your siblings and get to brag about it(hehe) and of course not to forget the sense of pride knowing life-altering secrets before your siblings did, like the truth about Santa :P

Every relationship with siblings is unique. No matter how annoying they get, at the end of the day you still love and support each other :)

That's it for today's #faltufriday post! Don't forget to share and subscribe for more :) Drop off if you're a sibling or a single child and some annoying things your siblings have done to trouble you. 

Signing off,

Kuhu :)

The Constant Comparison Circle

"Wish I had hair like them." "How do they manage being the best at EVERYTHING?" "They're so fit  - look at me: a couch potato" We've all compared ourselves with the people around us. We all compare ourselves with the people around us. We get jealous, begrudged and green with envy. And sometimes we just smile to not let the world know. We get insecure. We feel bad. But what we always forget to accept is the state of the situation. Our situation - their situation. Literally no one out there is a 100% happy with their lives. And, unlike the cliches, maybe we shouldn't be.  Who said that you have to be happy all the time? If you're happy all the time then how do you become a better version of yourself? There will always be someone smarter, richer, more popular, and better-looking than you. Healthy competition is good. It's not a bad thing to have people be better than you. It's a bad thing if you accept that you can never work hard and

The part about College Applications NO ONE wants to talk about.

Officially the time of the year when most of us know where we're going to college!  College is stressful: no cap. But what's equally more stressful is the process that builds up to getting into a good college. Whether you're in the Indian education system or an international applicant, we all know that competition is getting tough. Getting into a well-accredited college in India means  and abroad: But real talk: what happens AFTER the whole process? After you commit to a school? I like to phrase this feeling as Tun-tun mausi ke taane. Why? Because no matter what you do or where you end up - there's always someone to talk bad behind your back, nullify your hard work or simply claim, "Oh I'm better."  In the case of college apps, this is manifested by googling the acceptance rate. Let me draw you a picture: Person A gets into an Ivy League/IIT, person B is at a good college and person C got into a local/community college. It's been ingrained in our syste

Consistency and the 4 Year Special

“Isn’t it funny how, day by day, nothing changes, but when we look back, everything is different.” -C.S. Lewis If you go to the gym for the first time, and you work out, and you come back, you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. If you go to the gym the next day, and you come back, and you look in the mirror, you will see... Nothing. Clearly, there are no results, can't be measured, it must not be effective, right? This is the thought that often leads to us quitting. The problem doesn't solely lie in the lack of patience, but rather, in the lack of material. If we don't see it, we tend to believe it doesn't exist. That's where we get it wrong. "Good things take time. Getting better takes time. Building a habit takes time." But they also take consistency.  Going to the gym for nine hours does for a day not get you into shape. Working out every day for 30 minutes gets you into shape. Studying a chapter one night before may work (sometimes); but in t

Next Stop: Graduation. Ft. Senioritis.

 I'm officially an adult.  And I'm going to formally experience "life" now. It's going to be tough. I know that. But the only thing that keeps me confident enough to face that fact is that I will never EVER relieve my senior year of High School again. If I could survive 12th grade, I can - hopefully - survive what the future holds for me. So, to officially start the post: School can be rife with stress. Every waking moment is spent either in front of a textbook, in class, doing an extracurricular or editing the millionth attempt of your Common App essay (if you're an International aspirant.) And when you're in a constant loop of the same, fatigue is but natural to catch up to you. This is what my - as well as most of yours' - senior year looked like: Last exam of 11th grade - a movie out with friends - AP's and SAT - Internships - Common App Essay - Extra-curriculars - Barbieheimer - First Semester Exams - Early apps - Durga Puja - Pre-boards - Re
