AITA for the wanting to skip my brother’s college graduation to see friends and stay home before I leave myself?
For context, I am a senior in high school graduating in a couple weeks. My brother is graduating from a prestigious college on the east coast and then coming back to live at home again. My school has a 5 day long weekend (Saturday-Wednesday) coming up which I would miss all of (leave Saturday mid-day and get back Wednesday night) for his graduation. I know that my brother’s graduation is important, but this weekend is one of the last times all of my friends will be free before we all leave to college. I’m going out to the east coast and none of my friends are joining me—so this will likely be one of the last weekends I’ll be able to see many of them besides breaks if we’re all home. Am I the asshole for wanting to skip his graduation to stay home? I’ll still be able to watch it online, it’ll free up a spot for a different family member to attend, he’ll be home for at least the summer after Wednesday, and he is not the type of guy to care too much if I were there. If I stay back, I’m able to see my friends and stay home before I need to leave for school. My family can get a full refund on the flight. Should I stay home or go?
Edit: I’m gonna call my brother and ask him what he thinks, but unless he really doesn’t care in the slightest I’ll plan on going. I don’t want this to be something I regret going to in 5 years. Thank you all!
