Eight Things That Are True When Your Guy Best Friend Is Also Your Cousin
Lexxie Lewin

I'm lucky enough to call my older cousin, Russ, one of my best friends! These are eight things I've noticed over the past few years of getting super close with my own guy cousin about what happens when he's also your best friend!

1. You always have fun at family gatherings

Since one of your best friends is in your family, it is an instant good time at any family event because, well, you get to hang out with one of your best friends!

2. You're totally bummed out when they don't show

In turn, it's a major bummer when they decide not to show up at a family party, and you feel a little lost without their companionship.

3. You're lucky enough to have a guy who will give you the most genuine advice about other guys

When your romantic life gets a little confusing, you can always count on him to give you advice from a man's perspective to help understand what your own guy is thinking.

4. In fact, you have a guy who will give you the most genuine and honest advice period

Even beyond just romantic advice, he will give you the most honest advice about your problems anyways because he's family, and you both know there's no worry about hurting each others feelings. He just has the best intentions at heart!

5. You have someone who will go on the crazy adventures with you

When you want to do something a little wild, he's always down. When it's 10pm on a summer night and there's nothing to do, he's down to drive to Boston and explore, or go to the beach and see what kind of trouble you can get into!

6. You get to meet all his cute guy friends

He always has your back when it comes to setting you up with one of his cute friends.

7. When he sees you need help, he's not afraid to involve the family if he thinks you need it.

If he sees your struggling with something that may be too big for him to help, he's not afraid to encourage you to talk to your parents, or his, and vice versa.

8. He has to be your best friend forever

By getting to be best friends, you're ensuring that you have a best friend forever since, ya know, he's family too.

If Disney Princesses Went To Benedictine College

They would fit right in

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
