5 Reasons You Should Be Thankful For Your Sisters
Isabelle Schayes

Sisters are a blessing. Sometimes, you might lose sight of that because you guys are always bickering about who stole someone's brand new jeans. But, on some occasions, you realize that you would be completely lost without their advice and guidance.

1. Endless closets to choose from.

Now, for this one, you have to proceed at your own risk. You don't want to end up chasing each other around the house for a pair of shoes. If you get caught, the results could be disastrous. However, if you succeed, the results could be incredible. Getting away with it means that you have also successfully avoided any social media activity while wearing said outfit. You could always take the safer route and opt for your own clothes, but that's no fun. Let's be honest, nothing is better than getting away with it.

2. Someone to make fun of your parents with.

See, this is a given. Even your closest friends will never understand your mom's diet coke obsession and her other weird habits. You and your sisters have successfully mastered your parents' signatures and figured out all of their habits.


3. Company on Family Vacations.

Before boyfriends were allowed to come, all you had with you was your sisters. This was good because you weren't alone. However, spending all day every day with your sisters could end in disaster. Disasters include but are not limited to: trying to find a door to slam while you are sharing a hotel room, screaming matches at dinner and trying to run away from each other without realizing you that are on a cruise ship.

4. A Guide through Life.

Let's be honest here, as much as they annoy you, you don't know where you would be without their constant guidance. Sisters often lead by example and, lucky for you, you can learn from their mistakes. Sometimes, they don't exemplify the best behavior, like blaming you for breaking a straightening iron only to get a new one.

5. They Always Have been and Always will be there.

Sisters are your actual day one's. Nobody knows you better than someone who was raised right next to you. Even though sometimes you fight, you realize that sisters' are the most amazing gift you have ever been given.

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."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
