Hello, So here's to my last year of wholly being a child, and in May of 2016 I'll be an adult [18 in UK]. Is anybody else becoming an adult in 2016? What are you doing to 'waste that time away'?
I'm turning 18 in May too.I never felt really grown up but I'm looking forward to being able to drive finally.
I'll be in 18 next October... I'm not that worried about the age, I see it as a number. Most people look forward to it because ~drinking age~~ but there's not much I'll be able to do that I don't already. I'm most nervous about graduating high school and about what comes afterwards. I'm not going to pursue studies (I don't have the grades/money), I fear never getting the job I want or making it out of the country (I want to go live with my family in CT, USA, and try to make a living out there). My main dream is nearly impossible and I see all my friends getting their paths lined out in front of them whilst mine has the "under construction" over it and all the workers have abandoned the project long ago. Funny thing is... I've dreamt of such day. Of the freedom of leaving home (but circumstances made that a reality sooner than I expected), of being on my own traveling and seeing the world, meeting new people and writing about everything around me (but it requires money that I can't have and will hardly stumble upon). I've also wished to fall in love... But that's just another shattered hope. For now.
I turn 18 this Thursday (the 7th). Not doing much exciting for it, though. I'm going out for a meal with my family, out for a drink the day after. I go to Amsterdam in February as my birthday present from my mum, and I'll probs get tattooed around that time as well.
