5 Reasons Why I Am Thankful For My Older Siblings
Julia Trout

Thanks for being ones that I can constantly look up to!

Growing up, you three were the ones that I dreamed of becoming just like when I was older. At a younger age, everything you guys did I imagined doing too; playing basketball, working at the same places you did, excelling in school, going to college and being successful. Whether you realized it or not, you all are the reason I am molded into the person I am today. Your guys’ determination, hard work, great attitudes, incredible personality’s and love and respect towards everyone has been my constant drive. Every time you guys had an achievement or made a huge jump forward, that only encouraged me to do the same! Watching you guys continue to chase your dreams and accomplish your lifetime goals has been beyond amazing to witness over the years. Continue doing you! You guys are doing great!

Thanks for being ones that I can always count on for absolutely anything.

People have come and disappeared over the years but at the end of the day, I know I can always count on the three of you for anything and everything. Growing up, I could count on you for someone to play basketball with, helping me with homework and looking for advice toward any current life issue. Now, especially over this past year and a half, I can’t thank you enough for your constant support. Whether I needed advice toward college, boyfriends, a should to cry on, and hand to grasp on, a good laugh or just someone to strictly talk with, you guys have been go-to people. You guys rock!

Thanks for handing down the tips on how to handle our parents.

As there are many pros and cons to being the young sibling in the family, a huge pro is having you guys gearing me through the ropes and twist and turns with our parents. Based off your own experiences, you are able to hand down tricks and tips through certain phases I have experienced being a young adult. Thanks!

Thanks for always being the ‘protective’ older siblings

Nothing is quite as comforting than knowing you guys constantly have my back. At the end of the day, I know that you guys would do anything for me and I can’t thank you enough for that! In middle and high school, you always reminded me that whether it be with a friend or boyfriend, you guys would kick anyone’s ass who would do anything to hurt us. In college, you always check up on me making sure that I am having the time of my life, forming great relationships with people and being safe in my own surrounding environments. It’s an incredible feeling knowing that you three look out for me! Thank you.

Thanks for being the best older siblings anyone could possibly ask for!

No words can describe how thankful I am for each of you! The bond between a sibling is so unique, comforting and unbeatable and I am beyond happy to be able to share such a connection with you three. I could not have asked for more incredible older brothers and sister. You three continue to push me like no-one has before, support me through it all and express nothing but genuine love toward me. Continue being the most amazing, self-driven and kind-hearted individuals you all are. I love you three!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
