You’ll always have someone who looks up to you, or at you because somehow both my little sisters have become either my exact height or taller. But anyways, they always want to know what's new with you in college.
So, of course you tell them stories. Stories about concerts, music festivals, and random encounters at school. It’s like you become that one Uncle who exaggerates all their adventures and becomes the hero in every story. You tell them only the “cool stuff” and leave out how you spend the majority of your time going to class or binge watching “Parks and Recreation” and “Grey's Anatomy.”
Why would your little sister want to hear about that anyway? She wants to hear about exciting things and all the things she can do when she escapes the grasps of your parents. Although she’ll soon learn she had it pretty good at home with mom and dad, and even though you’ve tried to warn her, she’ll just have to learn on her own.
Once she does she’ll tell you all about how you were right and that’s always a great moment. That is your purpose as an older sibling to give advice and to lend an ear when they need to vent about school or when mom and dad get a little to psycho. Then you two team up to convince them that they’re responsible enough (even though you have your doubts) to go wherever or get a new iPad.
Don’t neglect your little sister because she looks forward to you coming home. Even when she doesn’t seem excited-- she is. In fact, she’s been telling all her friends at school the whole week that her sister is coming home from college.
She needs you to make DIY projects with her, play video games, or take her shopping at the mall. When your vacation quickly comes to an end you, of course, realize that you are the one who really needs her. You need to know that you’re actually doing cool things when it truly feels like you’re doing absolutely nothing with your life. She motivates you to do your best, so that she knows she can do it too.
Although you may get in fights, she may drive you crazy, and she is definitely stealing your clothes, you appreciate every moment you can get with her. Because the good times far outweigh the bad. You know you can trust her to be brutally honest and tell you that, "No, those shoes do not look good with that dress." You love the late nights spent bundled on the couch watching Disney movies, or her showing you millions of vines you’ve never seen before all while eating chocolate chip cookies. You miss when times were simpler because you simply miss spending time with your little sister.
