What It Means To Be A Sister By Choice, Not By Blood

You may not be sisters biologically, but the bond you share is just as strong.

What It Means To Be A Sister By Choice, Not By Blood
Nicolle Majette

After only a semester and a half at college, I have met the most amazing people who I am so lucky to call my sisters. Although the time we've known each other is small, it feels as if we've known each other forever. Through thick and thin, we're always there for each other, helping each other out and being there whenever we need it. These girls truly are the sisters I've never had, and I'm so grateful for each and every one of them. From them, I have learned what it means to be a sister.

Sisters always are there for each other. No matter how busy we may be with school, work, etc. sisters always make time for each other. Even if its just a trip to the dining hall, making time for each other is so important.

Sisters are the best people to confide in, and you know you can trust them with anything. Having people who know your deepest secrets can be scary, however, you know that whatever is said within the group stays in the group.

Nothing is better than the group chat. The group chat is where it all goes down. Memes, jokes, spilling tea, boy talk, you name it. The group chat is the ultimate reflection of the friend group, and where everyone's true self comes out. Nothing is better than re-reading old messages in the group chat together and dying about all the memories.

You must be ready at any moment to take pictures. This might not be true with every friend group, but at least in mine, we love. taking. pictures. At any given moment, you must be ready to flick up. A true sister will be ready to have a photo shoot anywhere, and have her friends looking right.

You'll always have people to hang out with. No matter what, you will always have someone to go get food with, study, or go out with.

You may fight like actual sisters but will always make up. Nothing is worse than getting into a fight with your closest friends, but also nothing is better than the moment where you make up and everything is good again. Fighting is a part of every relationship, but it makes the bond you share stronger.

I am forever grateful for my friends that I've met at school. From our "sister sleepovers" to our crazy Friday night adventures, nothing makes me happier than spending time with the people who know me the best. Thank you for being my best friends, and my sisters.

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.
