What It's Like For Your Best Friend To Date Your Brother

And I am not talking about brother in Christ...

What It's Like For Your Best Friend To Date Your Brother

My freshman year of college has been a blast, but meeting an amazing girl that would end up being my best friend has definitely been a highlight. She means so much to me, I do not know what I would do without her. I didn't think that I would connect to someone so fast here at university and I appreciate her in every sense.

But this isn't just about her. My brother, sister and I are all at the same college. It has actually been really fun, I feel lucky to have them here with me. My brother is only about a year older than me, so naturally, we have a lot of the same friends.

I began a friendship with someone the first day and we have been inseparable ever since. I slept over in her dorm in the first week and we immediately got close and found that we have a ton in common. We both have parents overseas, we like art and singing, and other things. My brother, my sister, her and I hang out all the time.

My brother started taking an interest in her and he talked to me about it. I tried to give some advice to him while not knowing what she thought. I tried to be conspicuous but I am pretty sure they both knew what was going on.

I asked her about him and tried to feel it out and I sensed something was there.

I went back and forth between my brother and my friend to the point of me wanting to just say, "DATE ALREADY!" because I could tell they were very compatible.

Turns out, they totally were. They started dating and they have been an awesome couple.

Sometimes, actually a lot of the time, it is us three hanging out. I am super happy for them but can sometimes feel like a third wheel, even when they don't want me to!

Most of the time though, I am extremely glad they found each other and that I am so close with both of them. We can all have meaningful talks together and have gotten infinitely closer through all of it. I love them both so much and I am so glad they work so well together.

I love introducing them to people (and mention I helped as a wingwoman) and I know I am lucky.

I would rather have my best friend date my brother than someone I am not friends with any day.

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.

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.
