Don't grow up so fast

It seems like just yesterday I was tagging along to your first soccer games or you were accompanying Dad to my basketball games and track meets.

Well, I wish those days weren't behind us. But they are and I could not be more proud to be your sister. I have seen you start driving, try a new sport, find a love for an old one and play your first Varsity season as a freshman.

You have grown up so much in the past few years and I am sad that I have missed so much of it. I'm not sure if you realize how proud I am. You went into high school with everybody knowing that you were my little sister, but you did not let that stop you from forging your own path.

You're the only one home now, and I'm sure it is weird. No matter what, just know that you have two older sisters who will always have your back; no matter how far away we are or how busy we seem to be.

No matter how much you annoy me with your stupid puns or your constant begging to borrow my clothes or how much I say I wanted a brother instead, I'm glad I got you.

I know that you are already thinking about college, but you've got some time. Don't force yourself to grow up so fast. Take some time and just enjoy being where you are now. You will have plenty of time to stress about college and moving and just growing up. Enjoy being home and enjoy high school and everything that comes with it.

No matter where you go, or how much you tower over me, I will always be there for you, Bug.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

As told by Ross and Monica Geller.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
