"adult" life

Something i put a lot of thought into earlier today as i was talking with my bestest pal:

The closer i get to a very "independent" life (as independent as a college student can get these days), the more i dislike it. I mean it has its perks, no doubt, but looking at the tradeoff, i dont think its very fair. So i'm going to lay it out to put things into perspective.

Things we could do as kids that we can no longer do*

• sit in the seat in a shopping cart
• play in the bathtub with friends
• wear matching spongebob shirts with your best friend every monday that said "Monday already?"
• grab chocolate milk in the grocery store, drink it, your mom has to buy it
• wet the bed
• get away with not knowing left from right
• wear super cute pigtails
• jump on beds
• go to bed at 8 pm
• hide under beds
• and much much more....

Now, I want to make it clear that i do enjoy being an almost twenty year-old, but there are some things that come with being an almost twenty year-old that just arent fun.

Like:

• homework
• jobs
• money
• student loans
• responsibility

Bleh!

And of course when we were young all we wanted was to be older! So we could stay up late, and do whatever we wanted!

Don't get me wrong, i love staying up late! But, i don't like getting older.

Responsibilities?! ewww!!

*we could technically do these things as adults too, but there are some physical limitations, and social norms we'd be crossing (who cares about social norms anyways!). Lets just say for arguments sake

here goes nothing!

So as i was doing my usual rounds on the internet, i stumbled upon something very interesting  It was a blog. But not any old ordinary blog... it was my sister's blog.
Now you may not understand the shock that i felt at this discovery, and you don't have to. But just know that i was a little surprised.
And of course my immediate reaction (like any good little sister) was "if she has one, then i want one too."
So, here we are.
Me typing this nonsensical thing called a blog and nobody reading it.
I used to always think blogs weren't for me, ya know. Blogs were for super cool creative people who had a lot to say. I've recently discovered that this simply isn't the case. Blogs are for anyone who has anything to say...which is everyone. Right? Right.
I'll just think of it as my own personal diary, that anyone can read... I mean that was my diary as a kid, isn't that how all diaries are?

     I would go into my room and sit down to write in my diary and find little comments in the margins   from none other than my big sister. It would say things like "That didn't even happen!" and "You're dumb" or just a simple "HAHA!"

ANYWAYS, i will most likely be pretty boring, make lots of grammatical errors, and never make sense... so i hope you don't enjoy!
