Being the eldest in my family has pros and cons.
For example, being the oldest means you can't get hand-me-downs but it also means that your mom often chooses your style that tends to be a reason for hiding elementary school pictures.
I've learned about personality trait trends that depend on where you fall in the order of your siblings.
90% of the time it works everytime
(if you don't know where that is from please go edusporcate yourself----aka sports-education)
Ok so here it is.

Kinda fun to see where you fall:
First-born:
Newscasters and TV talk show hosts tend to be first born or only children.
Prominent examples include: Walter Cronkite, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, Ted
Koppel, Oprah, Donahue, Geraldo, Arsenio Hall and Rush Limbaugh. Over half of U.S presidents were firstborns. Clearly, firstborns are natural
leaders. They also tend to be reliable, conscientious and perfectionists who
don't like surprises. Although, firstborns are typically aggressive, many are
also compliant people pleasers. They are model children who have a strong need
for approval from anyone in charge.
Middle-child:
These kids are the most difficult to pin down. They are guaranteed to be
opposite of their older sibling, but that difference can manifest in a variety
of ways. Middle children often feel like their older brother gets all the glory
while their younger sister escapes all discipline. Because the middle child
feels that the world pays him less attention, he tends to be secretive; he does
not openly share his thoughts or feelings.
Middle children may not feel they have a special place in the family so friends and peer groups become much more important. They can usually read people well, they are peacemakers who see all sides of a situation, they are independent and inventive. If a firstborn is a company's CEO, the middle child is the entrepreneur.

Youngest:
Babies of the family are social and outgoing, they are the most financially
irresponsible of all birth orders. They just want to have a good time. Knowing
that these kids love the limelight, it's no surprise to discover that Billy
Crystal, Goldie Hawn, Drew Carey, Jim Carey and Steve Martin are all
lastborns.
While lastborns may be charming, they also have the potential to be manipulative, spoiled or babied to the point of helplessness.
"The last born is the one who will probably still have a pet name although he's 29 and has a masters degree," Leman says.

Pretty fun right?
When I was reading these I could pick out some of my siblings and say "That's totally them!"
But I do need to set the record straight...
I DO like suprises, in fact, I love them!
Speaking of suprises.
Guess where I'm going next week?
NEW YORK CITY!!!
I could not be more excited!
Moment of Honesty:
Prior to a couple weeks ago, visiting New York was not on my bucket list. For 2 reasons.
1) I would get mugged, raped, killed, all with five minutes of stepping into the city
2) the yankees suck
And although the yankees still suck, I am so excited to take on the biggest giant of the USA..New Yorkers.
Stay tuned for pics, stories, etc. about this epic trip.
