Dear Little Sister,
Hello, little sister. I’m so proud of you. I’m so glad that you’ve put yourself out to join a sorority and make new friends. I know it’s going to be a scary ride and at times you might get homesick. It’s OK -- I did too. It’s OK to miss mom’s cooking and dessert-making skills. Just remember that, while you can always go back home, you only have one try at college. Remember, Morgan, that no matter how hard it gets, no matter how many times you fail, it only takes one time to succeed and really have your dreams front and center. Remember, nobody can take away your experience of college, football games, and finals week. Remember that at the end of the day you are kind, you are beautiful, and you are smart.
Remember that it doesn’t matter what you wear, how you fix your hair, or what you like to drink at Starbucks, because at the end of the day I will forever love you to the moon and back. Remember that Dad, Mom, Adam, and I will forever be your biggest supporters and confidants, and we will always love you. Remember that your first college roommate will always have a gentle tug in your heart reminding you when your life first changed. Just because you have the freedom to do whatever whenever you want doesn’t mean to do it.
Remember, you are still a Cunnyngham and you'd still better act like Mom and Dad are watching. Get up and go to class. I don’t care how late you went to bed, class is still class and you don’t need to skip. Remember to put the phone down during lecture. Trust me, professors are actually interesting when you fully listen to them.
Last but not least, enjoy and soak up every minute. This is the best time of your life. Nothing beats the feeling of accomplishment, hard work, and success. But seriously, don’t ignore me. You know I like to Facetime you to see your pretty face and make sure you’re doing well. I miss you already so much and I love you forever. Make me and the rest of the family proud.
P.S. I'll always be the best big sister you'll ever have.
Lots of love,
Your Big Sister
