Okay girls, I get it. Having an older sister isn’t always a walk in the park, but at least we’ve got someone that would take us to the mall to get our nails done and do a little retail therapy! Your older sister will end up being your best friend before you even realize it and here is why:
1. Even when they won’t let you, the two of you will always end up sharing clothes, shoes, and accessories. Plus, hand-me-downs are a great bonus!
Come on it’s like having a second closet!
2. You get their old school notebooks and textbooks.
This is great because if your older sister left a great impression on your teachers, they already like you! Also, you get those answer key homework assignments you never thought would be there!
3. You’ll always have someone to annoy.
As a little sister, it’s our job to get on our older sister’s last nerve. But who doesn’t love us?
4. Your sister will tell you like it is.
Tough love is something I live by and my sister is blunt, straightforward, and always knows how to put me in my place. Even when I don’t want to hear it, she’ll always be real with me.
5. She will always have your best interest at heart.
Sometimes you won’t understand why your older sister does what she does, but believe me it’s for a good cause. They have more experience! They’ve been through everything us young gals have seen and they just want to prevent us from getting hurt or going down a “bad” path.
6. She wants to your best role-model.
Because we look up to our older sisters and admire them very much, they have the opportunity to lead by example fully aware of the fact that they’re decisions influence us as well.
7. She’ll give you the BEST advice.
Okay, honestly if I’m making a decision, I usually run it by my sister because she’s honest, direct, and knows what’s best. They understand and bestow their wisdom from outfit ideas, school projects, to drama, boys, and life in general.
8. She’ll always remind you that everything is going to be okay and boost you up when you’re feeling down.
Having a rough day? I know my sister always finds humor in everything and her attitude and words give me the push that I need to be optimistic. If she inspires you and is leading you on the right path, your older sister is clearly doing something right. I know for a fact that my sister is.
9. She’ll motivate you to be better.
Your older sister wants what’s best for you. She wants you to be the best that you can be and even though she might be a bit harder on you, it’s only because she knows you can get through anything and be the best possible little human being ever. Have faith in the hope your older sister has for you.
10. She will always be there for you.
At the end of the day, it’s true what they say: All we’ve really got is our family. Your older sister will be there through thick and thin, good times and bad, no matter what. They’ll tell you that they’re proud of you and will push you to accomplish things you never thought were possible. They will always love you because honestly, they don’t have a choice.
