We all have to grow up at some point, that's a guarantee. Some aspects of being an adult can be not that bad, and other aspects can really suck. As an adult, you have much more responsibility than what you had before. You have bills to pay, you have to go to school, you have to go to your job, you need to pay off student loans, you don't get a lot of free time, you don't see your friends as often etc. It can really suck sometimes.
I'm technically in the teenage years yet. I haven't reached 20 years old yet. I haven't reached adulthood yet. And to be honest, I don't want to. I want to go back to being a kid in Kindergarten where we took naps every day and watched Mister Rodgers Neighborhood, had recess and barely had homework. And where we didn't have a care in the world besides what color crayon to use. Back in those days, we were carefree and stress free. Today, I really wish I still had that. College is very stressful. Getting jobs and working is stressful. Trying to pay for school/textbooks is stressful. Everything these days are stressful.
If everything is so stressful now for me, I can just barely imagine how stressful being an adult is. I don't want to grow up. I want to go back to being a kid, with all my friends, and feeling safe inside those 4 walls of school that separated us from the real world. Part of me even wants to go back to high school, and have prom and homecoming week again, and see my friends everyday, and see all of my favorite teachers that made class and school enjoyable. I want to go back to where I spent my 12 years growing up. And I want to stay there forever.
Some people complain about how they can't wait to get out of high school and graduate and get away from everyone and have freedom. I had that attitude once when I was halfway over with my Senior Yr in high school. I wish I never had that attitude at all. Senior yr went by so fast. I want to relive it again. High school is nothing like College. High school was stressful at times, don't get me wrong, but it is not nearly as stressful as College. Some people say that they can't wait to go to College. College has it perks sometimes, but halfway through my first semester of College, I really did wish I was back in high school. I can guarantee that each senior who said that, will want to go back to high school at some point their first yr of college.
I don't know what my future holds, no one does. We can only imagine what it will be like. Part of me wants to grow up and see what my future will be like. But the other part of me doesn't want to grow up. I'm scared to grow up. I'm scared to go out in the real world. I'm scared to be on my own, maybe in town I've never been and by people I don't know. I'm simply just scared to be an adult.
But who isn't scared?
