The Kissing Booth

Entering a new relationship can be awkward at first, but what if your new boyfriend/girlfriend is your friends sibling?

Um, hello, double awkward.

Who breaks the news to them? What happens if you guys don't last? Is dating a friends sibling something that should even happen in the first place? Well, I wanted to get to the bottom of it, so I asked 20 college students two simple questions, "How do you feel about dating a friend's sibling or your friend's dating your sibling?" and "Would you stop being friends with somebody if they started dating your sibling?" and here's what they had to say.

1. "It depends on the friend." - 23, Male

He also said that he wouldn't stop being friends with somebody if they started dating their sibling.

2. "I honestly wouldn't care, I would do it." - 22, Female

She would remain friends with somebody if they started dating her sibling.

3. "Hell no, this shouldn't happen." - 21, Female

She said she definitely would drop her friend if this were to ever happen.

4. "I think that if it makes them happy than it's fine, but when they start neglecting you instead of hanging out it can be bad. Especially, if one of them breaks up with the other." - 23, Female

She wouldn't stop being friends with somebody if they dated her sibling, and she also said that she would date a friends sibling.

5. "Very opposed if it was a close friend because it could ruin the friendship." - 21, Female

She would drop her friend if this ever happened.

6. "I wouldn't mind as long as I knew their true intentions." - 19, Male

He would stay friends with somebody if this ever happened.

7. "I don't care." - 20, Female

Would stay friends with somebody.

8. "I would hate that, but if they're both happy I feel like I would need to support them. My main concern is if they broke up, I feel like I would have to choose sides." - 21, Female

She said either way it's awkward but she would remain friends with them.

9. "I think that it's fine as long as the friend doesn't shut me out." - 22, Female

She said that she would love them both regardless.

10. "Uncomfortable." - 20, Male

Okay fair enough considering his siblings are minors and his friends are not. But yes, he definitely would stop being friends with somebody if this ever happened.

11. "I don't have siblings, but I don't think that I would mind. Love is love, don't be a hater." -18, Female

She would date a friends sibling and stay friends with somebody if they dated her sibling, (if she had any).

12. "My siblings are younger than me so somebody better have a jail cell waiting for me." - 20, Male

Yet, he would still be friends with them even if this happened..

13. "I'm not okay with it." - 22, Female

Would still remain friends wit somebody if this were to happen though.

14. "I'm a lot older than them, so it's a little weird." - 27, Female

She also said that she would date a friends sibling and remain friends with somebody if they ever dated her sibling.

15. "I'm not really that weirded out as long as it didn't impact our friendship. I personally don't find anything wrong with it" -18, Female

She too said that she would date a friends sibling and remain friends with somebody if they ever dated her sibling.

16. "My sister is like 31 so that's weird. I'm not for it but I'm not against it either." -18, Female

She wouldn't date any of her friends siblings but would remain friends with somebody if they dated hers.

17. "It was bound to happen. It just doesn't matter to me personally. " - 22, Female

She also said love is love, and that she would date one of her friends siblings and stay friends if somebody dated hers.

18. "Very awkward. The risk of losing them is too high." - 21, Female

Wouldn't personally date a friends sibling but would keep the friendship if somebody dated hers.

19. "Annoyed. Your "friend" is going to leave you high and dry for your brother/sibling." - 23, Female

Would never date a friends sibling and would drop somebody if they dated hers.

20. "I'd be a bit weirded out at first but that wouldn't negate our friendship." - 25, Male

Would remain friends if one of his friends started dating his sister and is dating his sisters best friend/soul sister.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
