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.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
