What It's Like To Be An Older Sister

Maybe you know, maybe you don't. You may be the oldest, you may be in the middle. If you have younger siblings, this is for you.

I am the oldest of many siblings, but I won't go into details of my crazy family. What is it like to be the oldest?

It's being a lifetime role model for all of your younger siblings. You are set to high standards, more is expected of you than your younger siblings, and sometimes it gets to be stressful.

Throughout my life, I never really appreciated having so many siblings. Now that I'm 20 years old, I don't have to see them all, every minute of every day, I enjoy them much more.

My most favorite thing about them is that you truly don't know how much they look up to you and watch you. The other day I was on the phone with my one of my sisters and she asked, "how was your workout today?"

SERIOUSLY!?

To me, it is awesome how much they watch and know about the healthy changes I have made in my life over the past two years.

Another one of my sisters started college this year, also and has asked me to help her to start living a healthier lifestyle. She made a cute little post on Instagram that said," I couldn't have asked for a better sister. I want to thank you for being an inspiration. Seeing you change for the better has made me extremely happy to do the same. Thank you for believing in me, you don't know how much I appreciate it #bestsister"

If you wanna talk about an overload of happiness, here's mine.

Siblings are great and I have some of the greatest.

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.
