This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Iowa chapter.
My memories with my siblings are some of the best things I have whenever I think about growing up, and I know many other people feel the same way. My relationships with my siblings doesn’t feel real at some points; one second, we’re at each other’s throats because someone ate the last cookie or someone stole the other’s shirt, and then the next second, I’m asking them if they want to come and get food with me.
For everyone who has siblings, be prepared to feel the urge to share this article with them (and sorry to all the only children out there!).
