Time

As the end of the school year approaches, I find myself looking back on my first year of college. It feels as if it has flown by, but at the same time it cannot seem to go any slower. My brother is currently a senior in high school so this is an exciting time for him. He's looking forward to the last of his high school events like school assemblies and prom. Most importantly, he's looking forward to graduating. He will also be attending Lewis and cannot wait to see what college has in store. I know it's only been about a year since I was the one who was excited for prom and ready to graduate, but sometimes it feels like it has been longer. I don't know if it's because I always seem to be so busy, or if it's because he's my little brother and it's seems as if he's growing up, even though I'm not that much older than him.

Recently, I've found myself getting caught up on things that really don't matter instead of focusing on what's important. I've also found this to be very annoying because it's so easy to miss what's important when my focus is on something insignificant. Stressing about insignificant things only ends up making days seem like they're eternities. This is why I've decided that I'm going to try and stress about minor things a little less. In the end, it doesn't do me any good to worry about something that is not in my control. All it does is cause me to miss the things I wish I would've paid more attention to.

So, I'm excited for my brother, and I'm excited to see him graduate. This is something I'm going to make sure I'm fully there for without the distraction of other unimportant things. He's seems to really be enjoying the last few months he has left of high school and is ready for the next chapter of his life. Although we didn't plan on attending the same college, I'm happy he'll be at Lewis.
