7 Things You Learn From Having An Older Sister
You Queen

1. What’s cool to wear and what’s not.

From knee high socks to chokers, you’ve learned from growing up with her the ropes of what’s in and what’s far, far out.

2. With beauty comes pain.

Especially when the time came to start plucking my eyebrows... couldn’t thank ya enough for letting me know I was growing a unibrow.

3. How to talk your parents into letting you do things.


“All my friends are allowed to go”, “I’ll text you right when I get there”. Definitely learned all the right lines when it came to going out with my friends.

4. No matter what you fight over, she will win.

Tickle wars, wrestling, fighting over a shirt you stole from her closet, whatever the argument she always has seemed to have the upper hand. Had to accept the fact that she was bigger, stronger, and lets face it, the older sister.

5. Sharing is caring.

Whether it was food, accessories, or clothes, we always were borrowing something. I strongly believe that we purchase the same things now because of PTSD from the fights we had as kids.

6. Honesty is key.

Yes we will tell each other if that shirt is ugly, the back of your hair isn’t straightened, or the truth about your boy crush. And the best part is being offended is never part of the equation with your sister.

7. No one will ever have your back like your sister.

Your sister is the one who’s grown up with you, seen you at your best, and seen you at your worst, and no matter what will always have your back. Because lets face it, we’re not going anywhere.

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).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
