My freshman year of college has been a blast, but meeting an amazing girl that would end up being my best friend has definitely been a highlight. She means so much to me, I do not know what I would do without her. I didn't think that I would connect to someone so fast here at university and I appreciate her in every sense.
But this isn't just about her. My brother, sister and I are all at the same college. It has actually been really fun, I feel lucky to have them here with me. My brother is only about a year older than me, so naturally, we have a lot of the same friends.
I began a friendship with someone the first day and we have been inseparable ever since. I slept over in her dorm in the first week and we immediately got close and found that we have a ton in common. We both have parents overseas, we like art and singing, and other things. My brother, my sister, her and I hang out all the time.
My brother started taking an interest in her and he talked to me about it. I tried to give some advice to him while not knowing what she thought. I tried to be conspicuous but I am pretty sure they both knew what was going on.
I asked her about him and tried to feel it out and I sensed something was there.
I went back and forth between my brother and my friend to the point of me wanting to just say, "DATE ALREADY!" because I could tell they were very compatible.
Turns out, they totally were. They started dating and they have been an awesome couple.
Sometimes, actually a lot of the time, it is us three hanging out. I am super happy for them but can sometimes feel like a third wheel, even when they don't want me to!
Most of the time though, I am extremely glad they found each other and that I am so close with both of them. We can all have meaningful talks together and have gotten infinitely closer through all of it. I love them both so much and I am so glad they work so well together.
I love introducing them to people (and mention I helped as a wingwoman) and I know I am lucky.
I would rather have my best friend date my brother than someone I am not friends with any day.
