Your mom always told you to be thankful you have a sister. She told you that one day, she'd be the best friend you'd ever had. It was impossible to believe her when you were six and she told you that an alligator in the sewer was going to bite your head off, but eventually it turns out your mom was right. Not only is she your family, but she's the best friend you could ever imagine having.
1. She always tells you the truth.
Brutal honesty is her specialty. Sometimes you want to strangle her because of it, but you know she's only telling you what you don't want to hear because she loves you.
2. Her closet is your closet and it's always way better than yours.
Even though you're bound to fight about it, you'll never stop stealing each other's clothes. Hand-me-downs and overly debated trades are the best way to expand your wardrobe.
3. The main fight you have is over the clothes you share/stole/lost.
Okay that NYU hoodie isn't worth causing a civil war over, but your priorities are a little out of order sometimes.
4. She's the only one that completely understands the insanity of your family.
With only a glance, you can have a full conversation at any family function. To be honest, the telepathy is pretty impressive.
5. You both argue over who's becoming your mother faster.
It's not you, obviously. It's not.
6. You can tell her anything and everything.
She'll never judge. She might make fun of you mercilessly and hold it over your head for years to come, but that's just part of the fun.
7. Car rides are a concert full of loud duets and interpretive dance moves.
People would pay solid money to not have to witness this, but that doesn't stop it from happening
8. But your time together is the best time of your life.
You're never happier to see anyone else. There's never a dull moment because you were raised with the same references, bad jokes, and immense knowledge of sarcasm.
9. You both agree the matching professional photographs should stay in storage where they belong.
No mom, those pictures were not precious. They can only be used as a form of blackmail and should probably be burned before anyone else can find them.
10. The ridiculous childhood fights only made your relationship stronger.
The fact that she drew on your Chad Michael Murray poster and you called her a brat after you slammed the door in her face has only increased your love for each other.
11. She can't leave you no matter how bad a fight is.
Even though your fights last a total of 2.5 minutes and you apologize in record time, it's nice knowing that she'll always be there.
12. No one takes more pride in your accomplishments.
Whether it's your first halftime performance, an A on an exam, or your actual dreams coming true, she'll probably cry with joy and brag about you to everyone she knows.
13. Nothing feels right unless you celebrate it with her.
Birthdays are just incomplete without her.
14. Let's be honest, you look great together.
Your Instagram posts get way more likes when she's in them because you guys just look that good.
15. You'll go into battle for each other.
No one can handle the full force of sibling protection. Full interrogations, threats, and payback are expected.
16. She's your biggest role model.
Growing up with an amazing sister like her taught you how to be a better person. In your eyes she's the perfect human being and you take mental notes on how to be more like her.
17. You love each other unconditionally.
And not just because you have to. She's your other half. She's the person you dream about growing old and gossiping with in a retirement home over martinis.
