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.
