If you want to look at it another way, remind yourself that there are people out there that wish they could spend more time with their sisters and would gladly trade situations with you if they could...
I totally get it Lil. My church has asked me several times to consider taking over our youth ministry in addition to the children's ministry, making for a full-time position. And while I'm really humbled at their belief in me for such a position, I turned it down because my girls need their own place to just be themselves. They need a youth leader they can talk to about their life - and it needs to be someone besides their mother.
You need that too. However, since you are close to graduating from the youth program anyway, it's probably best to just accept this change gracefully and maybe start planning and looking forward to future programs that you'll be able to participate in on your own. I think college is a wonderful way for you to spread your wings and discover yourself. I say go for it! *hugs*
Youngest of 6 here, been there. I know what it's like to have something that you do on your own. My thing now is teaching young kids. I think I might be tue only one in my family patient enougu to do that.

Lil, I don't think it's selfish to want to do things on your own. I'm the eldest of three boys and because we did a lot of things together, people seemed to assume that we were all similar (we're not) and that we enjoyed all the same things (we don't). My two younger brothers get along very well, they're almost telepathic in how well they relate. In some ways, I've often felt like the outsider in my family - mostly different interests and understandings, character etc. Some people often mistake me for my brothers in the sense that they assume I'm good at IT because my brothers are (and my dad is). Also, I would sometimes choose not to go to Christian camps or whatever if my brothers were going because I love to have my own space and be my own person. Don't get me wrong, I love my brothers, but it's important to do some things apart from them. That's my understanding anyway.

Thinking about doing something good and meaningful. But I know I'll end up talking myself out of it, cus it might succeed and it might fail. Or I might be get criticism. I'm a little chicken.

Ahmmm... I think of sharing the message this afternoon to Faithful Women and Senior Women about "The Woman Caught In Adultery." John 8:1-11 instead of "Draw Near to Jesus" Hebrews 10:22. Most likely the former is relatable to a woman. Aha, i think so.
