Some people might find it weird when I say my best friend is four years younger. But honestly, who cares? All that matters is that I love hanging out with her. With having a younger best friend, I get the little sister I've always wanted but never had. There are definitely more perks to having a younger best friend than negatives, too many positives to put in one article!

1. The little sister you never had

For me it’s the best thing ever. As the youngest sibling in my family, I have always wanted a little sibling, but I especially wanted a sister. Someone I could be a big sister to. And it just so happens that my best friend has an older brother, so she didn’t have an older sister to do things with, and I love filling that big sister role to her

2.You don’t live with them.

Not living with them means you are not in each other's hair all of the time. You never really get annoyed by them like you do with your blood-related siblings. You can spend as much time as you want with them, but at the end of the day, you’ll each be going back to your own homes, well unless of course you have a sleepover, but that’s usually only for one night.

3. Technology pro

OK, maybe they aren’t technology pros, but they do have the advantage of growing up with technology always being a part of their life. Now you might say to me that I’m not that old, but when you’re talking about technology, I am, and the four-year difference between us definitely feels like quite a lot. Let’s just say to make it simple, I learned a lot from my best friend about technology and I am still learning from her.

4. Fashion assistant

With having a younger best friend, you always have someone to help you decide what to wear. I could never actually ask my older sister since she was born in the early '90s, so she has a way different way to look at fashion. Whereas my younger best friend can always help me decide what still looks good with today’s trends. Not that my older sister has a bad taste in style, it’s just that her style isn’t what is necessarily in style now.

5. You’re someone to look up to.

You’re the role model in the friendship. Your younger best friend has someone to look up to. They are watching everything you do and seeing what you do right and wrong, that way they don’t make the same mistakes that you did. You are the one to give advice whenever needed, although sometimes your younger best friend has better advice than you do.

I have no idea what I would do without my younger best friend. She is my other half and my little sister. I love her tons!
