There are many objects that mean so much to me, but to many may just seem ordinary, maybe even pointless. One thing that is very important to me but might seem like just a regular sweatshirt to many people is my Ohio state university sweatshirt. It’s more what the sweatshirt reminds me of, than the sweatshirt itself. This year in August my brother left his home of 18 years to go to college at Ohio State, he is more than 600 miles away from me and I miss him more and more each day. Before he left he bought this sweatshirt for me and gave it to me as a present, which means so much to me.
Me and my brother have always been close and over the years we have gotten closer. He is my only brother so I always go to him with my problems, and he always has just the right thing to say to help me. I always think about our crazy, fun, exciting memories we had growing up I hope he thinks of them to. When we were little we used to have squirt gun fights and build snow forts together, sometimes we would even has sleep overs in each other’s room on summer nights. As we got older we would get into fights over the stupidest things. Now we like to go for coffee runs and hang out in Maine during the summer. Some of my best memories from the past few years are of us singing loud while driving to down the highway. I think that the older we get the closer we will get. When he picked out the sweatshirt for me he knew i would love it because he knows my style really well! It is a grey hoody with the Ohio state logo in red on the front along with a big O, which is also one of the schools nicknames. Every time I wear it, I think of him. It makes me sad to think that he's not with me, but also it reminds me how much he loves me.
He is majoring in landscape architecture at Ohio State, he is really enjoying it even though it is a lot of work. Sometimes he is up till 4 AM in the morning doing all of his work but he still gets it done. He is so busy there we can only face time a few nights a week but I always look to forward to it and plan what i’m going to say, so we can most of the little time we have. My brother is coming home in a few weeks, just for a couple days and i can't wait for him to tell me all about everything that has happened so far! I'm so proud of everything he's accomplished over the years, especially these recent things. I believe everyone has one special object that they really cherish and my brother’s college sweatshirt is definitely mine.
