Sis,

It's that time of year again. As a summer full of laughs, late-night chats, and cruising downtown comes to an end, it's time for me to begin my second year of college.

There's just a few things I would like for you to know.

We both know last year was hard, for me and you both. You started junior high and I left the nest, but I promised you I wasn't gone for good. I still am just a phone call away (or one goofy snapchat away), and I will still always be here to do anything in the world for you.

We fight, of course, but what are sisters for? I wouldn't trade any moment of this summer, arguing or no arguing, for anything in this world. You get me regardless of what may be going in my life and you somehow have always found a way to make me laugh.

You will still get just as many surprise visits from me as last year and just as many late night texts. Even though I'm excited to get back to my second home, that doesn't mean that I'm not going to miss you and our home.

I still expect you to keep me updated on all things going on in your life, because we both know I'm the big sis; I'm protective.

I promise I won't forget you. From listening to ZaYn and Nick Jonas over and over to watching our favorite episode of Supernatural, I'll always have you with me.

And I simply just want to thank you. For being the best listener, for caring about me so much, for all the laughs, for all the words of encouragement, and for just being my sister.

I am always here for you whenever you need me and I love you and I am so proud of you.

Here's to another wild year ahead!
