Family is essential for getting through these young adult years and I am incredibly blessed to be close to mine. My mom and sister, in particular, have had a huge influence in my life and I am fortunate to be able to call them my best friends. They have supported me through hardships and celebrated my accomplishments. They can build you up: “You are the smartest and most beautiful person in the world!” And they can be brutally honest: “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!” But ultimately, no one will love or understand you like your female family members and at the end of the day, these gals tell you what no one else will. Here’s why your relationships with these people are super important:
1. They have already experienced breakups, friend fights, and academic stress. They can coach you through each step.
2. They’ll spin the truth; your misery is good!
3. When you’re upset and emotional you almost give them too much information (TMI) but hey, that’s what family is for!
4. Family gossip always arises even if it’s just a 5 minute conversation.
5. You can be on the phone with them for hours and still have more to talk about
6. They are the best people to cry to and they give the best hugs
7. Combined, they are literally Super Woman and can sense when something good or bad has happened to you.
8. They are happy as long as you are happy.
9. To them, there is always somethinggggg with you.
10. Girls’ weekends are the best weekends.
11. You’re the baby of the family and forever will be picked on.
