Why I Love My Girl Squad

We give the Spice Girls a run for their money.

Why I Love My Girl Squad
Steve Baker

I've never really been a ‘people person.' That's not to say I don't like people, I've just never been one of those girls with a million different friends. I'm shy, sarcastic, and a little bit brash, so people can be a bit taken aback and assume that I'm much meaner than I am. (Really, I promise I'm not!)

Instead of having a million friends, I have six sisters. These girls have been a part of my life for as long as twelve years, and as little as two years, but they're some of the most important people in my life.

What makes us special is how different we all are. One of the girls is going to be on SNL some day, she gives Kate McKinnon a run for her money. One is going to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and one is going to be the best field agent the FBI has ever seen.

We're all different, none of us are going to be majoring in the same field, and a lot of us aren't even applying to the same schools. We all found each other in different ways, whether it be a group of lifelong friends meeting up with us during lunch and deciding to stick around for 5 years, or an atrocious ex boyfriend leading us to bond over angry Kanye music and Halo Top ice cream.

We stay together because we need each other. We've grown together, all of our roots are intertwined. I know I'll always have someone to straighten the parts of my hair that I miss, or take me to cool bead stores to buy new bracelets. There will always be someone who will listen to me when I need to complain about a death on “Stranger Things,” and I'll always be there to control the aux while they drive, or rename our seasonally themed group chat.

Sooner or later, we're all going to be in different time zones, were all going to have jobs, we're all going to make new friends. At the end of the day, we all know that we'll always be watching the newest “American Horror Story” episode together, even if it's over Skype, and we're all only one Bitmoji text away.

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.

Sorority Girls

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
