Dear, girl who is in my house almost as much as me.

So, you practically live with me and my sister. I mean you are over almost every weekend. You are also one of the few people that I know who doesn't judge me for wearing pajama pants at 3 in the afternoon. I really haven't asked you for too much, but I have a few requests from you when I leave my sister for college. You ready?

1. Make her laugh.

She gets stressed just as much as you do. Laughing was how I helped her. Then again, her laugh might just make you laugh. So it will reduce your stress too.

2. Hug her for me.

She needs a hug every now and then. when she had a bad day, i was there to help her out. I won't be there, so I need you to be there for her. Something tells me you already are.

3.Keep her out of trouble.

This was mainly me growing up. I would find the trouble and she would follow me. Just promise to keep her out of any situation that could be dangerous. I think I did a good job of keeping her out, so no pressure.

4. Make sure she keeps her faith.

I was no help in this over the years but encourage her to keep it and to enjoy it.

5.Send her good luck texts

She enjoys reading those. They help her get her mind right for a game.I will too, so she will be full of luck.

6. Have a sleepover for me.

Get her away from mom and dad for a night. Order pizza, talk about whatever, and eat buckets of ice cream. Have one at my place too. I'll even let you stay in my bedroom, just don't mess it up.

7. Stay with her throughout high school.

Be her friend throughout the rough years. I mean, you made it through the awkward years. Just promise me you won't break her heart and leave her stranded.

8. Watch out for mean girls.

She is strong but it always helps to have someone in your corner. I will be from afar. Be there to hold her hand.

9.Take the silly selfless.

She loves them. You seem to like them as well.

10. Encourage her dreams.

We all need someone who dreams as big as us. We all want someone to tell us every dream will come true.

11.Call me with updates.

I know she will call but let me know the truth. Let me know who she is dating, what classes she is struggling with and how she is holding up.

After all these years, I thought I would be leaving my mom, dad and one sister behind. But it turns out, I feel like I'm leaving two. So hopefully my biological little sister will help my honorary little sister with these items as well.
