I've been 18 for five days, and frankly it doesn't feel any different. Age is only a number, yeah, but I would have thought I'd be more prepared for the attendant responsibilities and freedoms that come with being 18.

I'm going to miss childhood, really. More competent coming-of-age novelists have worded this far more eloquently than I will here, but here goes. It's strange that you spend your entire childhood wanting to grow up, and the rest of your life wishing you were a child again. That is, if your childhood went right la. I think mine did, though friends will contend that I don't actually have one. Up for debate, but I don't think I'd have lived the past 18 years any other way.

I honestly wouldn't mind being trapped in a snapshot here, at 18y/o, for a few years or so. I'd want to move on eventually though, just to experience the rest of life. JC life has just passed me in too brief and brilliant a flash.

It was also quite peculiar that my birthday coincided with the end of blocks, and the start of all the inundation regarding university applications and scholarships. So many decisions to make, and there aren't clear paths. If I could look back at 36 and not have regretted the past 18 years, I'd be pretty set for the rest of life.

Numbers lol.

Five more months till school life closes. Hope things work out for everyone =)
