10 Things I've Learned From Having A Sister

In This Article:

Lessons learned and a friend for life.

1. How to share

Having a sister who wears the same size in clothes as you means that you're going to have to learn to share. No matter how much you love something, chances are your sister is going to love it just as much and want to borrow it. You have to learn to breathe, and just share with her, because you'd want her to do the same with you.

2. How to live with another person

My sister is always invading my space, and you just have to learn to accept this. On the bright side, this has taught me how to live with another person without killing them.

3. How to be happy for someone, regardless of my benefit

Whenever my sister achieves something, I am genuinely proud of her with no jealously. I can bring this quality to other aspects of my life, allowing me to understand how to genuinely be happy for someone else.

4. How to deal with "cattiness"

My sister and I fight all the time, about the stupidest things, but always get over it. Girls are catty. If my sister and I can move past our fights, then I can do the same with my friends.

5. What to look for in a friend

My relationship with my sister is the relationship I want with my friends. I will always look for the support system that my sister provides me.

6. How to let little things go

Obviously my sister gets on my nerves constantly, but most of the time, my aggression fades, and I let go of the little things.

7. What looks good on me

My sister is brutally honest when it comes to what clothing looks good on me. Though it can be harsh, I know she's looking out for me.

8. Patience 

I have had to adopt a high level of patience over the years.

9. How to keep secrets

My sister and I tell each other everything, and I have to keep what she says to myself.

10. How to learn from someone else

My sister has taught me so much and I am so thankful for it!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

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."

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!
