My little sister and I have been frenemies since day one. The day I was four years and one day old, I got the biggest blessing and curse welcomed into my life. When I moved a state away for college, I never thought that I would enjoy our time together so much. Here are five things I have learned after leaving my little sister six hours away.

1. Anything I left at home somehow became hers.

When I left for college, I moved into a dorm room. Obviously, I did not bring my whole room with me. However, when I went home for winter break, I found multiple items that were mine in her room.

2. She steals my clothes more than ever.

At least once a week (most of the time more), I will find that she has worn my shirt, jacket, necklace, anything, all day. Majority of the time I see it, she has posted it on her Instagram. Below is her in one of my tank tops.

3. She is actually somewhat fun to talk to.

Since I have left for college, my sister and I have grown closer than ever. We talk more to each other now than we did when we lived right next door to each other. It's crazy for that to actually happen, but it's true. When I am home, we spend a lot more time talking to each other as well.

4. We trust each other more.

While there are a few things that we would never talk about, mainly boys, we speak about them a lot more often now. I am not for sure if it's because I cannot just go tell on her to my parents or if she has realized that I actually do have somewhat decent advice sometimes, either way, I am happy that our relationship has grown.

5. Little things mean a lot.

Our birthdays are one day apart which means I (of course) always remember. This was the first year since her birth that we haven't spent our birthdays together though and that was actually rough. I had been at college for about a week and I had heard that she was having a rough time with me not being around, but she won't admit this to my face.

I had seen necklaces that you can put two states on. For her birthday, I ordered us both one with our two homes. I have been told by many that she would tell everyone about it.

While we still argue a majority of the time when I am home, since leaving for college a lot has changed. I am so grateful that college brought us apart locationally, but has brought us together mentally. I love her and there isn't anything that could change that.
