For years, I had friends come and go and it felt like I would be alone. Dealing with drama as a child is not what anyone would want to endure. For me, drama had a good ending. One day, drama occured and I contacted one that was on my side but did not know her the very next day. At first, it felt awkward, but as time progresses, I got to know her and can now treat her as my own sister. Many of these factors can be relatable to whether your sister is blood related, adopted or feels like adopting your best friend as your sister emotionally.

8. You can look up to her for even the most ridiculous type of advice

I had my fair share of ridiculousness and she can admit the same, but the part that can make it all funny is how ridiculousness can actually help grow your relationship.

7. You can talk to her about anything and she can sometimes be free therapy on occasions

Yes, I have a professional therapist, but the precious gift of having a best friend to treat like your sister is like a bond that is can open to trust on just about everything.

6. A bond that you can't break no matter what

Throughout my life, I had friends and people I thought were my best friends come and go, but for this relationship, it's like you have a best friend with an unbreakable bond. No external force can possibly break a strong bond

5. You are willing to drop everything and be there for one another

Yes, we all have tough times in life, but being able to drop everything and be there for her is unlike anything. She might have a hard time and you are willing to help her.

4. It's normal and acceptable to look like a mess and be able to feel comfortable

Today's society talks about how important it is to look a certain way towards others, but if your best friend is like your sister, you can have really bad hair and it's perfectly normal.

3. You are there for her when she makes the most ridiculous choices

We tend to judge others on choices we all make, but when your best friend is like your real sister, you tend to support her on the most outrageous choices, be able to provide feedback if applicable.

2. You feel comfortable doing stuff with her over any other friend

You can have friends that you can do stuff and feel comfortable but it's a different story if your best friend whom you treat as your sister can do stuff and feel comfortable at the end. Your horizons are expanded with her in your life.

1. You can feel comfortable being quiet for long periods of time

There is an old saying "Silence is the most powerful thing." For a bond to be like this, being quiet can be just as powerful as being verbal. Silence can be the best thing as it is a powerful way for non verbal communication and doing stuff other than talking all the time.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
