Assignment 24- Cassadi Cordea

I don't think I've ever failed as much as I have this school year. I've had to work so much harder to keep up with everything this year. I've learned that if you really, really want something, you'll only get back what you give for it. I've had to constantly remind myself of that, and it's still a work in progress for me. I've also learned that a lot of the small things that seem to make the world turn upside down in the midst of the chaos don't really matter. They won't matter in 5 years, probably not even 2 months. It's hard to think of that in the moment, but I've been able to let so much extra stress go by remembering that. I've also been trying to stop trying to please everybody, I just drive myself crazy from it. This summer I plan to read a lot and maybe teach myself how to play guitar. Who knows. I'm going to Maine in July, so I'm REALLY excited about that (if you couldn't tell by the caps). Next year I want to get started on my college applications early and have them done early, so I'll have to be thinking of that over the summer. Wow, that seems weird that I have to be thinking about that. Time flies.
