A Letter to my Best Friend by Blood

Don’t let your head get too big, I’m still older (and cooler) than you.

To my Best Friend by Blood,

It’s not very often I get the chance to tell you how much you mean to me. You would’ve thought being 300 miles away would only put a strain on our relationship but it’s done nothing but bring us closer. When we were growing up, we did the typical sister thing. We fought over everything and stole each other’s clothes to the point of fist fights on Christmas eve. But there would never be a fight big or bad enough to make me stop loving you. Having a sister is God’s best gift. You are guaranteed a best friend for life no matter what.

I will admit this, and please don’t let your head get too big, but for years I have been jealous of you. You are the funniest person I have ever met. No matter where you go, you make the entire room laugh. You are so artistic and cool. I wish I got mom’s artistic genes because I am severely incapable compared to you guys. And, to top all of this off you are so gorgeous. Your smile and eyes light up every single room you are in. Not to mention you can do hair and makeup like a professional.

I truly think you’re one of your most amazing qualities is your strength. Anyone who knows us could tell you that crying is my strong suit. I wish I was able to be as strong and courageous as you. You take every situation head on and face it fearlessly. I admire you so much for this.

Most of all, all of these amazing things about you allow you to be my best friend, my blood buddy, and my sister. There is no one on this earth that I laugh as hard with or trust more. I know that no matter what I will always have you to lean on. Especially being so far away from you, I’ve learned that you’re the best resource anyone could ask for. Whether it be stupid boys, my weekend plans, a bad day or the best day ever, I know that I will always have you to talk about everything with. I hope that you never ever feel alone in this world because you will always have me. I hope that you never hesitate to reach out just because you want to talk. I hope that this world will always treats you amazing because you deserve everything this world has to offer and then some. A friend of mine recently wrote “Be surrounded by the light of love that people wield for you and let it rattle about. Let it soak you to the core. And when you’re feeling like you love enough, I hope you love, I hope you love, love more.” I will always be a light for you and I will always love you, never ever forget this.

Love, Your Older Cooler Sister

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
