One thing that I’ve come to understand in my twenty years on
this Earth is that your sister is your first and longest friendship. Having a
sister is a true blessing, and despite the occasional argument and annoyances
that come along with having a sister, you wouldn’t trade anything for having
someone there to go through this thing called life with you. Here are 10 things
that you’ll relate to if you have a sister …
1. Someone To Do Things With
When you have a sister, you also have a shopping partner, a
dinner date, and basically a go-to person for anything! Here’s to having
someone that is always down to get queso with you or see that new movie.
2. “Borrowing” Clothes
This can be a blessing and a curse. Having a sister also
means you have an extra closet to turn to when you can’t find the right thing
to wear. It’s awesome having two closets worth of clothes, yet sometimes items
will mysteriously go missing…
3. Protectiveness
Older sisters usually have the universal characteristic of
being protective of the younger siblings. Of course she loves to pick on you
and put you in your place, but if anyone else tries to do it they have to deal
with the wrath of the oldest. It’s only okay to make fun of you when she does
it amiright??
4. Wisdom
Sisters provide wisdom about life, school, boys, etc. Having
a sister entails talking to each other about things 100% honestly. They really
don’t care about sugar-coating anything because they know you better than that
and want the best for you, even if that means saying the hard things at times.
5. Privileges
If you’re the youngest child you know this one all too well.
The oldest somehow always manages to get first choice for everything just
because she’s older. And don’t even think about sitting in the passenger seat
of the car when a parent is driving you two. That seat is clearly reserved for the
oldest.
6. Family Functions
Family functions make you extremely grateful to have a
sister because they’re forced to go through the awkward conversations and interactions with you.
Plus you’ll always have a companion to sit with you at the “kids” table.
7. Getting Ready Together
One of the best bonding experiences sisters can have is
getting ready together. Regardless of the type of event, nothing is better than
blasting music, sharing a bathroom, and getting #glamorous with your sis.
8. Looking Like Twins vs. Are You Even Related??
This is one of the first comments that people make when
they initially meet your sibling. Unlike other siblings that get asked if
they’re twins, my sister and I look completely different. So much so that when
people first meet my sister they usually don’t make the connection that we’re related,
let alone sisters.
9. Arguing
Your sister somehow knows how to push all of your buttons.
Out of everyone, you probably bicker most with your sister. But even with all
of the arguments, you still know deep down that you love each other.
10. Best Friend
There’s no other bond like a bond between sisters. You’re
forced to be friends from the very beginning. But honestly, what would you do
without each other???
