14 Things Only People With An Older Brother Will Understand

My older brother has been begging me for about a year now to write an article honoring him. Every time I have just laughed at him, thinking one day it will happen. Well, today is that day. My brother is the best older sibling I could ask for. He is funny, mentoring, and charismatic. I could not have asked for a better person to be my role model. So, here are a few things that only younger siblings will understand with an older brother!

1. When you're growing up, you only want to imitate what your older brother does. For girls, that means being involved in physical activities or getting excited about sports games, which is not an entirely bad thing!

(Literally my brother and I trying to get on the jumbotron at hockey games)

2. When your older brother is protective, it's the best feeling.

3. You can always count on your brother to give you the truth.

4. I'm pretty confident every older brother has burped and blown it in their younger sibling's face.

5. Personal space is literally not existent.

6. You both get to tag team your younger sibling/ older sibling powers to get each parent to do what you want.

7. When your older brother is basically good at everything.

8. As a team, you have broken something of your mom's at least once.

9. When you can't get away with anything because your parents already know how to handle kids.

10. But, you're the younger sibling so you don't get a bad punishment.

11. The teasing literally never stops.

12.You just shouldn't believe everything your older brother tells you.

13. Hiding food from your older brother so he won't eat it all.

14. When you sit back and realize that having an older, playful brother is the best.

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.

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.
