When God Gives You A Little Sister

They are your best friend and worst enemy at the same time.

When God Gives You A Little Sister
Amber Selfridge

A lot of people have younger siblings, whether it’s a brother or a sister. You learn to love them and accept the fact that they are going to be in your life for the rest of your life. Having a little sister is one of the best and worst things to happen. They are there to annoy you when you don’t want it and they are there to be your best friend when you need it the most. No matter what, getting a little sister is one of the best things about my life.

First of all, thank you, mom and dad, for giving me a lifelong best friend who knows how to push all of my buttons. Having a little sister has taught me how to be mad one second and be laughing to the point of crying the next. There will be no one who comes into my life who will be able to compare to my sister. She is my best friend, my worst enemy and my biggest supporter. No matter where life takes us, I know that she is only a phone call away and that she will always have my back.

Growing up with her wasn’t always the easiest, but we have learned how to love one another and how important we are to one another. No one knows how crazy my family is better than her and no one knows how important they are either. Thank you for being there to go on random shopping trips to target and driving around until our favorite song ends. Thank you for being just as weird as me and accepting my quirks. Thank you for putting up with all of the nonsense of me leaving for college and thank you for choosing to come to the same school as me so we can hang out. I love you and could not have asked for a better person to call my lifelong best friend.

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?

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.
