Why Big Brothers Are Secretly The Best For Little Sisters

I may not have the big sister I always wanted, but I was blessed with two big brothers instead, and I would never change that.

The Built-in Best Friend

What's better than having a built-in best friend? A little sister will always have her go-to person to make fun memories with, even when all her girl friends are busy.

Their Opinions Are The Most Honest And Valued Ones

Brothers will give their opinions even when they weren't asked, and will always find a way to but into their little sisters business. But when they say how pretty their sister looks, or how proud of them they are, they really are telling the truth.

The Personal Bodyguard

Brothers will have their sister's back through anything. And no matter how old their little sister gets, they never stop trying to protect them from the real world. But at a certain age, maybe it's time to lay off scaring all the boys away.

They Are Disgusting, But It's Surprisingly Helpful

Sharing a bathroom with at least one of my brothers for 19 years has been a challenge, but I built a tolerance to all the disgusting habits that boys have, which has taught me how to deal with nastier things in life then just cleaning up after them. Turns out brothers are useful for something.

They Treat Their Sister Like "One Of The Boys"

While little sisters may not always be welcome to tag along with the boys, big brothers will always see her as one. Although, they do usually remember she's still a girl when they're talking about their trucks (or something boring like that).

So, I may not have been given a big sister to help me with makeup or how to dress, but I had something better. I was given two big brothers who occasionally forget I'm not a kid anymore and that I'm sadly not a little brother instead. Thanks for being my best friends.

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.
