6 Reasons Growing Up a Middle Child Gave Me the Best of Both Worlds

As a middle child, being bored was never an option. We didn't have friends over as much because my siblings and I always had each other. I'm less than two years apart from my older sister and younger brother, so I always had someone (if not both) to play with or simply watch TV with. We're all pretty competitive, and we'd play sports like soccer and tennis outside on summer nights until it got too dark out, usually ending in a fight . . . but all in good fun.
