8 Fairly Obvious Signs Your Sister Is Actually, And Legitimately, Your Best Friend

As much as I hate to admit it.

8 Fairly Obvious Signs Your Sister Is Actually, And Legitimately, Your Best Friend

I'll be the first one to admit that, sometimes, having an older sister seems more like a punishment than a blessing. She's always stealing my clothes, commenting on how "immature" I am, and claiming that she was so much more successful when she was my age.

But once my sister finally left for college, I realized that despite all of our bickering, she was my go-to person. I would call her about the recent dramatic scene that took place in class, I would complain about my parents, and we would go into in-depth conversations regarding the recent episode of America's Next Top Model on a weekly basis.

These were just some pieces of evidence that my sister was/is actually (and unfortunately) my best friend.

You Prefer Hanging Out With Your Sister Over Your Other Friends

When it came between going out on a Friday night to the movies with a group from school or binge-watching "New Girl" for the eighteenth time with my sister, I always knew what to choose. Even if my judgment swayed, my sister's whining would force to me to reevaluate my decision.

Every Time You See A Good Movie, She's The First To Know

Giphy

The majority of the movie recommendations I received this year have been from my sister. Even when I was skeptical about seeing "Mamma Mia 2", she encouraged me to go (and I have been grateful since). Before I think about starting a new television series, I always ask for her opinions and advice because, at the end of the day, she knows what I like more than I do.

You End Up Accidentally Twinning With Your Sister

Whenever I would see two best friends post a picture on Instagram of their "Twinning Tuesday" apparel, I would look over and see my sister wearing the same flannel as me with the same brand of black leggings. Every time we went shopping together, we would end up picking out the exact same shirt and both purchasing the same outfits (even though she's my best friend, we don't share).

Your Phone Is Filled With Ugly Pictures Of Her

Giphy

While most people have embarrassing screenshots of their friends or significant others, there is a specific folder in my phone dedicated purely to Snapchats my sister has sent me that are just too funny not to keep. I would feature one here, but I'm afraid of the backlash that could potentially occur.

You Plan Time To Call Her Throughout The Week

Giphy

Now that my sister lives over 800 miles away, I don't have the opportunity to plan a trip to the mall with her during the week. But, through time, we've figured out ways to improvise with our hectic schedules. Whether it's just calling each other during our free time or both going to a cafe at 2:00 PM on a Wednesday so we can feel like we're going on a coffee date together, my sister and I always make time to gossip.

You Tell Your Sister Too Much Sometimes

Giphy

There are some things that you shouldn't tell your family, but you'll tell your sister anyway. When I was a freshman in high school and my sister was telling me about her adventures at a college party, I was definitely shocked at her unfiltered stories (especially as a thirteen-year-old girl who didn't even understand the concept of smoking weed yet).

You Have The Best Inside Jokes Together

Giphy

Since she's known me for my entire life, our jokes have had years to grow and develop into intricate tales that no one will ever understand simply because we cannot explain them. There are always those few random words or phrases that instantly spur a reaction from the both of us, but there are also in-depth stories that only we will find funny.

She's Your Biggest Fan, And You're Her's

Giphy

As best friends always do, my sister and I support each other through every obstacle we go through. Through every heartbreak, through every financial struggle, through everything. We're also there to hype each other up when we do well academically, when we get hired for a job, or even if one of us finds a good sale on shoes.

They say that friends come and go, but when your best friend is your sister, it's forever.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
