When You Give A Girl A Little Sister

Because you don't get as much credit as you deserve.

You give her someone to spend lots of time with.

Whether you’re running your errands together or watching TV and just lounging around, she will be the first person you ask to go do something with you.

You give her someone to fight with.

We all know sister fights are a rather large part of childhood and even growing up. You might fight over who gets the last amount of food or who gets the shower first, but no matter what, you get over it because you can't stay mad at each other for longer than 20 minutes.

You give her someone to look up to.

Whether you know it or not, that little girl wants to grow up and be just like you. She wants to do things like you. She wants to speak like you. She wants to learn from you. She wants to dress like you. She wants to be YOU.

You give her someone to laugh with.

Though there are times when you just want to shake her like crazy, there will also be times where you’ll want to laugh so hard that you cannot breathe at all. The laughs shared with her will be some of the most memorable ones. Just you wait and see.

You give her someone to be proud of.

There will be plenty of times where you’ll want to stand up and scream at the top of your lungs that THAT is your little sister. You’ll want everyone to know. (Trust me, I’ve been there.) Whether she made an A on a test or she scored the game-winning points in her basketball game, you will never feel as proud.

And most importantly…

You give her a best friend.

Although your age might vary, she will become your best friend. You will learn that there isn’t anyone else you’d rather have as your little bit. You’ll learn that when things go wrong whether in your family or in life in general, she will be the first person you want by your side. She will encourage you in more ways than one. She will help you to want to be your best in everything you do and she will want you by her side through everything that she does. It's just how this sisterhood thing goes.

As an older sister, you know that nothing in this world would matter if it weren’t for that little girl.

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.

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.
