Unless you're in a sorority, it's really difficult to explain the unconditional loving bonds that are created through the sisterhood that you've chosen to devote your life to. Going into a sorority, I was looking forward to this sense of togetherness. I knew that when the time came, I wanted a "Big" that I could relate to and go to when I needed anything. My "Big" has completely exceeded my expectations and has done so much for me. Little did I know that I would also be blessed with the most amazing "Twin," who is my person inside and out.
After two months of being in this family, here are the top ten things that my family has done for me.
1. Provided unconditional support and love: No matter the situation, I know that I can go to these two for anything and they will always support and love me for whichever decision I make.
2. They provide a completely judgement-free zone: I know that whether it's eating a ton of food, doing something silly, or the decisions I make, they will not judge me (and most of the time, they join in).
3. They provide encouragement: No matter how down on myself I may be, or discouraged, they encourage me to always be the best person I can be.
4. They share my love for food: Whether out to dinner, at the dining hall, or in our suites, we all eat the same food. We can eat a lot and no one cares.
5. They rant with me: Over text or in person, we are able to rant to each other about everything, and it makes us feel better in the end... or more stressed.
6. They give me really good advice: No matter the situation, I know that if I am conflicted about anything, I could get really good advice (whether I want to hear it or not).
7. They drive around with me: No matter the destination, whether its around campus or to go look at puppies, I know that I have them to come for a drive with me.
8. They're honest: Whether I like it, or not, they are honest and I need that in my life. Their honesty helps me look at life differently and make better decisions. Even if its just about an outfit...
9. They get me: Wanting a night in, having no words for my emotions, or not forming complete and proper sentences, they get me when other people don't.
10. Most importantly, they're my people when I've really needed them and even when I don't know what I want.
I am so lucky to have these people in my life and they continue to surprise me every single day. I appreciate all of my sisters for being role models to me, helping me hold myself to the highest standard, and pushing me to exceed the expectation. For all of these reasons and many more, I appreciate this sisterhood - especially my Big and Twin. More than anything, I cannot wait to see our family grow.
