Siblings are bound to fight, and sisters can easily get at each other’s throats. Whether it involves someone’s missing favorite sweater or premenstrual cat fight, sister’s will literally drive each other cray. Throughout our years, we have lost friends, made new ones, and lost those ones too. A sister will always be consistent. Here is to appreciating the blood bond that brought you two together. Here are 10 reasons why your sister should be your best friend.

1. An additional closet

If you’re anything like me, you love clothes. Being close with your sister means the ultimate double closet dream. Walking into the bedroom next door is essentially the same as going shopping.

2. Always takes your side

Any outside conflict will immediately be double teamed with the help of your sister. The two of you may fight but she always has your back.

3. Has talents that you don’t have

Maybe it’s doing makeup really well, or being able to do the perfect french braid, I am sure your sister is better than you at some things. Jealousy is normal but appreciate your access to her talents.

4. Always there for advice

If anything is ever wrong, chances are your sister is right there with you. Living with a friend always gives you someone to rely on.

5. Covering for you

Chances are if you have a good relationship with your sister, they will always cover for you in front of your parents. Be cool for them too. Make a truce.

6. Having a friend on family vacation

We all always want to go on vacation with our friends, but if we are close with our sisters, it makes it easy and fun without the hassle of making plans with other people.

7. Workout Buddy

Motivation is good, and friendly competition between the two of you will make you both more determined and healthy.

8. They Have Friends Too

Being friends with your sister’s friends gives you a whole other group of people to hang out with. It’s fun to be involved with more than one group.

9. No One Understands you Better than your sister

You live together, have the same family, same life style. If anyone can understand you and know you, it is your sister.

10. You automatically have your maid of honor

Being close with your sister is so important. Ignore the petty fights and appreciate the friendship that will always be there and last a lifetime.
