My Cousin Is The Best Friend I Could Ever Ask For

Why My Cousin Is My Best Friend
Tori Crowley

My little cousin is four years younger than me but she is my best friend. Although she may drive me absolutely crazy some times, she is the person I hold closest to my heart. Our very large family fights a lot but throughout all the fights, she's is the one person I never fight with…unless you count fighting about where to get food.

My family can be very hard to deal with, but the two of us never stop supporting each other. Lies get made up about us by family members but we always know the truth because we tell each other everything. From all the boys to fights with our girl friends, we know it all about each other. I can get one text from her and instantly know her entire mood and that is because I have known her her whole life.

When you meet people in life who become your friends, there's always stuff about them that you do not know because you have to known them their whole life. They may have a big family secret that you never know. Your family shapes who you become as a person whether it is good or bad, but since her family is my family I already know it all.

When new friendships are formed, there is always the awkward phase in the beginning. You all know what I mean by this…where you aren't exactly sur what to say or how to act because you do not know how they will react. Being yourself is something I strongly believe in and with her there was never an awkward phase.

I have literally seen her run around with a diaper on her head and carry her Bear in the Big Blue House blanket around everywhere. She has seen me shart my pants and has helped me when I’m down (literally and figuratively because one New Year’s Eve I fell and ate pavement in front of her house). She has seen me though every awkward phase of life I have gone through including fashion and boys. There is no need for me to fake around her because we have been shoved in a tub together to hurry up and get clean so the next group can get in after a long beach day.

My cousin is one of the strongest people I know. Although she is younger, I look up to her so much and I know she looks up to me. I try to work my butt off so that she can see how much it pays off and to be the perfect role model for her. She is my greatest inspiration and usually the reason I get out of bed in the morning. I spoil her so much so that she knows how to be treated so that no f-boy can come along and break her heart.

The two of us have so many memories that I could not imagine myself without. She makes me who I am. There is no way no how I will be ever to love anyone as much as I love my cousin because she takes up my whole heart.

Sure, I have other friends that have met during my 20 years on this planet, but my cousin will forever be my best friend. I already know she will be the godmother to my first born and will be my maid of honor at my wedding so that she will be by my side when I marry my husband. Whenever I do anything big in life, she is always the first to know which means she knows every detail about me.

My cousin has had it harder than she should in life but there is nothing I would not do for her. I would climb the biggest mountain and cross the biggest ocean if it meant I would see even the slightest bit of a smile on her face. That’s what best friends do and my cousin is my best friend forever and always dude.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
