5 Reasons Why Your Aunt Is Your First Best Friend
Alyssa Humphrey

"Only an aunt can give hugs like a mother, keep secrets like a sister, and share love like a friend."

1. She Has Been There From The Beginning

Ever since I can remember, my aunt has been by my side. When I look back on all of my major milestones, she has been apart of them. She always makes our successes hers as well and it makes me feel good, knowing that she will always be one of my biggest fans.

2. She Understands Me

I can honestly say that my aunt is the one that I can go to for anything. No matter what it is, I have no problem opening up to her. We have this trusting relationship, where I can open up about any issue without her judging me. I want to thank her for being that extra ear to listen to all my problems.

3. I Am Always Laughing With Her

A lot of people will never get our inside jokes or our personalities, but no matter what she always puts me in a good mood. For example, you can always pick her out of a crowd, whether that is sporting events or even a concert. She has a loud mouth and doesn't mind getting kicked out from time to time. No matter what, you will laugh once or twice while with her.

4. We Always Have Our Girl Time

Once or twice a month I can always look forward to going out to eat or getting our nails done and venting about whatever is going on at the time. It is a nice break from reality, where I can gossip and vent.

5. Most of all, She Is Like My Best Friend

Through it all, my aunt has given me guidance, discipline and most of all laughter. We have such a diverse relationship and this is why the above quote reigns true. She is not only my aunt, but my second mother, sister, and friend.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
