As I have gotten older, I have come to the realization that time flies by too damn fast. I remember this past weekend like it was yesterday, and now we are onto a new week.
Where does the time go?
For my entire life I have always been a person who plans and who is excited for the future. I know that planning is important, but also living in the moment, living one day at a time is important as well. We only have one life, so we might as well live every day to the fullest, not plan our lives for the next twenty years.
Since college has started, I truly have understood that time is something that we humans cannot stop or freeze; time keeps going no matter the situation or person. I also never valued time as much as I do now. When I have deadlines for essays or projects I make sure I have enough time to complete them in a timely manner because like I said earlier, time flies by too fast. That’s the thing about time: it doesn’t stop for anybody.
I remember my move in day for college on August 25th, 2016 like it was yesterday. I was scared shitless and desperately wanted to go back home. However, I sucked it up and put my emotions aside because I had to be an adult and learn how to live without my family everyday. Plus, I knew that I would be going home in three weeks. :)
It really is unbelievable how fast time goes. I remember going home for Columbus Day Weekend, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving break, and entire month for Christmas break, and now I am two weeks into my second semester of my freshman year. Time, could you slow the frig down for just a minute? Thanks.
This article probably seems like I am ranting about how I loathe that time is too short, but I’m actually just stating what everyone is thinking.
We only have twenty-four hours in a day, only seven days in a week, only four weeks in a month, and only twelve months in a year. Although a year may seem like a long time, but is it really? Doesn’t it seem that 2016 just started? What I am trying to get at here is that people should start spending more time doing things they love and spending time with people that make them happy and loved. Life is too short to not be with great people, drink fantastic coffee, and have a career that you freakin love.Time is precious. Don't waste it.
