What It's Like To Be An Older Sister

Happiness is having brothers & sisters

What It's Like To Be An Older Sister
Dani Crane (shutterup photography)

Maybe you know, maybe you don't. You may be the oldest, you may be in the middle. If you have younger siblings, this is for you.

I am the oldest of many siblings, but I won't go into details of my crazy family. What is it like to be the oldest?

It's being a lifetime role model for all of your younger siblings. You are set to high standards, more is expected of you than your younger siblings, and sometimes it gets to be stressful.

Throughout my life, I never really appreciated having so many siblings. Now that I'm 20 years old, I don't have to see them all, every minute of every day, I enjoy them much more.

My most favorite thing about them is that you truly don't know how much they look up to you and watch you. The other day I was on the phone with my one of my sisters and she asked, "how was your workout today?"

SERIOUSLY!?

To me, it is awesome how much they watch and know about the healthy changes I have made in my life over the past two years.

Another one of my sisters started college this year, also and has asked me to help her to start living a healthier lifestyle. She made a cute little post on Instagram that said," I couldn't have asked for a better sister. I want to thank you for being an inspiration. Seeing you change for the better has made me extremely happy to do the same. Thank you for believing in me, you don't know how much I appreciate it #bestsister"

If you wanna talk about an overload of happiness, here's mine.

Siblings are great and I have some of the greatest.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
