At the end of last year, both my sister and I moved back in with our parents. We even had to share a room, and let me tell you... sharing a room with someone who you are as close to as your sister isn't all fun and games. We for sure had our fair share of fights; however, we became closer than ever and had a whole lot of fun.
1. You get incredibly excited to hang out with them all the time again, just like when you were little.
2. You always have an honest opinion.
Whether it be an outfit, makeup, or boys, you know she’ll always tell you the truth.
3. You eat each other's food without feeling guilty.
And if they do get upset, you can always just buy them more. And let's be honest, she eats your food too so it all evens out.
4. There are a ton of selfies.
Especially with fun filters.
And I mean a ton.
5. And also a ton of embarrassing snapchat videos of each other.
Each video progressively being more and more cringe-worthy, of course.
And then the occasional really good video.
6. You almost always know where the other person is.
Especially when they're at work or hanging out with a boy.
7. But the few times you don't know where they are, you end up running into them anyway.
I once went to TJ Maxx and saw my sister in line to pay. Of course, I creepily texted her “I see you.”
8. You feel betrayed when they go somewhere without you.
Lucky for me, this rarely happened. Even when my sister went to volunteer at Graham Elliott's food booth at Lollapalooza, she made it possible for me to tag along too! Bonus: Free Day Pass and Free Lobster Corndogs!
9. You share most of your stuff.
Except not shoes in my case—my sister has tiny feet.
10. You get food together.. A LOT.
Our favorites were Chic-fil-a, Culvers, and Insomnia Cookies.
11. You watch all of the same shows.
Mainly just The Office over and over.
12. You start to develop your own form of communication.
One time my sister and I went to Target together and almost exclusively talked in memes. When we realized what we had been doing, we both were shocked. But then, we thought it was cool that probably no one else could understand what we were talking about.
13. There’s always someone there to make you laugh.
14. And to hug you when you're sad.
15. Eventually, you get really sick of always being around each other.
But in the time my sister and I lived together, I never felt closer to her.
16. You talk about living together forever.
17. And then you lose a part of yourself when they move out.
My sister moved to Georgia about two months ago, and I miss my best friend more than ever.
