As the end of the semester and the end of the year is approaching, I keep finding myself reflecting on this past semester and year. A lot has changed from last year. Things are constantly changing and change is hard for some people. I personally always hated change.

This past year I have been through a lot. It was not always good and it was not always bad. I have stories that were not funny at the time, but now it's the end of the year and I can laugh about it.

I managed to stress myself out to a whole other level. Now I look back at the stress and everything worked out how it was supposed to.

I'm starting to look at the world differently; not everything is going to go as planned and that is not always a bad thing. My 19th birthday did not go as plan, but it ended up being better than I expected.

Sometimes you need to go with the flow! I thought 19 was a pointless age, but it's not. Nineteen is the last time I am considered a teenager. I did not do everything I wanted to do this year, but there is always next year.

I look back on all the things that have made me upset this year and the truth is, none of it matters. None. That exam I took last semester that I studied for and did bad on does not matter. The time my car got kicked in at a party does not matter. The fight I had with my sister the other day does not matter. Everything is changing. I passed the class. I got my car fixed. I made up with my sister. None of it matters because everything changes, you could either go with it or dwell on the past.

Right now I'm stressing about finals and work, but it's not going to matter next week because there will be a new stressor. Life is a constant change; we all need to keep moving forward and except the change.
