10 Things That Happen When You Have Multiple Sisters

1. You have multiple wardrobes.

"It must be nice to have a sister because you can share their clothes." While this is true, some people oversimplify this idea. In actuality, this is a much more complicated idea. Yeah sometimes it's all completely great and everything is on limits and life seems perfect because you have double the clothes, but sometimes sharing clothes is a battlefield that requires strategy. Like, she's going to be gone from 3–8? Perfect, I'll have 30 minutes to return this dress to her closet before she even knows it's gone. Or there's some kind of advanced level trade negotiation. The trick is never knowing if closets are fair game or off limits, you just have to feel out the vibe.

2. Having sister cliques

If you have multiple sisters, you're bound to have miniature sister cliques. These are temporary cliques when you have a stronger bond with one sister at a given time. Sometimes you're the odd one out, and that's OK; just try again in an hour or so.

3. You have understood jams.

Everyone probably has slightly different tastes in music, and there are always fights over control of the aux chord, but there are mutually understood songs that are to be played and sung at maximum volume. Has it really been a successful day if you didn't belt out "Since U Been Gone" with the sunroof open? Bonus points for attempting to harmonize.

4. The "your poor dad"

"You have three sisters? Your poor dad." You've heard this your whole life, especially from old people passing by at the grocery store. How are you supposed to respond to that? Should you say, "Haha yeah it's a real burden, wish I could trade one out for a boy or two." Little do they know that you and your poor dad bond over SportsCenter and grilling.


5. Having mutual opinions of people

When you have multiple sisters, all of their friends are also your friends. Likewise, if one of your sisters doesn't like someone, neither do you, and you better be there to listen to the vent sessions. Nod your head and agree with everything; use extreme caution when presenting opposing opinions.

6. You always have someone to hang out with.

Your friends can't hang out? Fine, you have a whole squad to back you up. No matter what, you can always find someone available to join you on your "just for fun" Target trips or early-morning coffee runs. And sometimes, you'd rather have a girls night out with your sisters anyway.

7. You never have to worry about forgetting anything.

Whether you're on a long trip or just out and about, you never have to worry about forgetting anything because odds are one of your sisters can back you up. Need snacks? Check. Hair brush? Yep. Blu-ray copy of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?" You bet.

8. Always having a mediator

This is a big difference from just having one sister. When you have multiple sisters, you always have someone to be the mediator. When there are petty fights over clothing custody or ice cream rations, there's always someone there to put you back in your place real quick.

9. Being known as "the girls"

"Oh you're on of the *insert last name* girls!" Haha, yeah I'm one of those. When you have multiple sisters, you lose your first name and become all lumped together as one person. You also commonly are referred to as "___'s sister." Just smile and nod.

10. Always having someone to take pictures

When you have multiple sisters, you always have a photographer. Cute photo op? Just summon one of your siblings. They know that it better be a quality picture, or they'll be ostracized. On the other side, having multiple sisters means there are always Snapchats captured of your worst moments. So many unattractive screenshots, so little phone storage.

11. Having honorary sister members

There are some friends who basically live at your house and have become a part of your family, so you make them honorary sister members. The sisterhood's big enough for everyone.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
