  3. She’s your designated drinking buddy at family gatherings. Boring family event to go to?

When family obligations suck, count on your sister too have a few too many with you and mock your relatives without them realizing.
  4. She taught you all about sharing. She taught you to share by taking your most prized possessions without asking, sometimes destroying them. As adults, you share each other’s clothes, make up, career tips, and love advice. You enjoying sharing now, because you get more than you would have on your own, and it’s an easy way to make your sister happy.

If you’re feeling sad, she’ll be there to cheer you up, without needing to be asked.
  7. You have an unlimited supply of inside jokes. You have an entire lifetime’s worth of inside jokes and they never get old. You can reference something funny you said five years ago and she’ll not only know exactly what you’re talking about, but one up you with a quote from seven years ago.
  8. She’s your biggest fan, cheerleader, and supporter. She believes in you more than anyone in the world. She encourages you to chase your dreams, be your best self, and never give up. She’s your life coach and cheering section all in one.

  10. She’s the only one that understands your crazy parents. When you just can’t cope with your f*cked up parents, your sister is always there to vent and commiserate with. No one else gets it like she does, and no one ever will.
