"I feel as if we are all just growing up way too fast. Before, I would just want to grow up already, but I obviously had no fucking clue what I was talking about. Haha."This is from Alyssa's blog.
I agree with Alyssa on this. I am 18 years old now and I look back and can’t believe that I’m 18. The last age I can think back and remember so well is when I was at the age of 11.
Out of all the birthday parties my parents have given me the best out of all would have to be my 11th birthday. I can remember my 11th birthday so well. We celebrated my birthday in Fremont at my best friends house Edna G. The cool thing celebrating my birthday at her house was that her house had a pretty big deep pool but the only thing that sucked was that I still had not really learned how to swim well in order to go to the deep area. For the past months Edna’s mom had been teaching me how to swim in the low area from the pool. But later on, on the day of my birthday I decided to face my fears to jump in the deep area and try to swim in the deep like my best friend and her family would. The good thing was that even thought I didn’t really know how to swim I had learned how to float. Once I jumped in the deep area and as I pushed my self up since I was able to float and able to sustain myself above water; I began to swim to the shallow area. I was so happy that I had finally learned how to swim. Later on that day we ate really delicious food my mother and Edna’s mom had cooked and then we part the cake outside at night which was really exciting. My mother gave me a little kitten for my birthday which I still have and it is 7-8 years old. Other people gave me cloths or money but most of all I was happy and appreciated for friends and family of mine and my parents that came to celebrate with my birthday. That day couldn’t have gone any better! I can remember that day so well like if it were yesterday. That’s why I say the older we get the faster time goes but its a part of life.
I remember when I first started my freshmen year in high school I had told my friends, “watch time is going to fly super fast that when we at least expect it we’re going to be seniors because the older we get the faster time goes.” My close friends Elmina,Brenda, and Sahar did not respond to what I had said but Haneen did and she responded, “Girl, you’re crazy! Time is moving really slow and we still have three and a half years left.” I responded, “Lets bet on this, I bet you that time is going to speed by and that you’re going to want it to go slower and on the day of our graduation you’re going to say I was right and you were wrong” Now the crazy thing is that I knew I was going to remember that day so well that by the time the it comes to the day of my graduation that has not come yet but soon to be I am going to say “I told you so!”
As of time of right now I can’t get it through my mind that I am 18 already and this is my last year in high school. It is so weird that I was once a little 11 year old and now I hit the stage of an legal adult. The advantages of being below the age of 18 is that you have less responsibility's. Under the age of 18 you don’t have to worry about paying rent or buying groceries. Once you do hit the age of 18 and graduate most young legal adults have to either find a job or just continue on to college or maybe both, work and go to college. Most parents will still allow there young legal adults to keep on living in there house but as long as they go to college and possibly get a part time job to help out in rent,groceries, and that they also go along the parents house rules. I don’t think that’s so bad, it’s better then buying your own rent. But then there are those type of people who prefer and can’t wait move out of there parents house; I personalty think its better to live with your parents to you know you’re stable and able to pay all bills. Another thing people can do is move in with friends and they all put in for the rent, groceries etc. I wouldn’t mind doing that myself. It would be really nice to move in with my close friends and being able to experience of being on our own, being young responsible young lady’s.
So what what can I say? It’s a part of life to grow, to make mistakes and learn from them. And it’s true, the older we get the faster time goes. I would love for time to go a little slower but that’s the part of life.
