Every day my birthday comes closer. Each day, the thought goes through my head: I am going to be 18 years old in 2 and 1/2 months; a legal adult. I think it used to scare some part of me, actually. But for the past couple of days, I've began realizing that I'm not terrified anymore, which is typical, I guess. I'm sure most adults look back and remember feeling the same anxiousness to just be able to say "I'm an adult."
Now, I know that being 18 doesn't make me 100% an "adult". I do realize this.
I'm just taking advantage of my opportunity to enjoy this golden birthday of mine.
The thoughts of being fully responsible for myself, being in college and living on my own, and all that "good stuff" have been filling my brain lately. I feel young and vibrant and like I can do anything I set my mind to. I hope that some part of me always feels young and vibrant and like I can do anything. It would be a shame to lose that youthful spirit.
I wonder if everyone has these thoughts and feelings in these few months preluding their 18th. I wonder if everyone has at least one "I have my whole life ahead of me" moment inside of them. I hope so. It is truly a wonderful feeling.
I must end my typing session here. I have to go do homework. hahahha (:
Now that I've been 18 for a while, it's not all that I made it out to be, haha. Now I feel this way about beginning college (another blog to write!) :)
