Time is something that I have had a hard time wrapping my mind around. A new realization has came to me about time, and it's that you don't realize how much time has passed until you are reminded.
My senior year of college has had me in my feels thinking about how fast time has passed, and how fast time has gone. (Is this what getting old feels like? HELP.)
Over the last month, I have been caught up in the every day struggles and stresses of school. During this time, I have forgot to look at all of the positives that are happening all around me. I may have been stressing about an exam, but looking back at photos from the same day I may see that I went out to dinner with a friend I haven't seen in awhile or went to a game with my family.
Those days where you are stressed or worried, can also be days where you had fun, made memories, and enjoyed the people you were around. Time has a weird play in your life. Days go slow, but weeks go fast. Suddenly you are looking back at memories and realizing a lot of time has passed.
I am a huge believer in living in the moment. I love to be surrounded by my favorite people, making memories that I will always cherish. I like to think that I make the most of every day, but I am kicking myself because I feel I haven't been lately.
Senior year of college has had a lot of phases. I have went through the "senior year: live it up" phase, the "senior year: i'm too old to be here" phase, the "senior year: i'm too tired to go out" phase, and now the "senior year: I NEED TO FIND A JOB" phase.
It's a stressful time in my life, but why stress what I can't control?
This article is a reminder for myself, but also for you. We all need a little reminder to live in the moment, cherish everyday, and fill your days with as many memories and pictures as you can! (And to send your resume to a job or two along the way.)
