Being Adult
Right now, Im officially an adult guy in the world.
But,I don't even want to think about being 18. There's something...sinister about that number. It's a transition age. 19 carries with it the 'prestige' of maturity as a teen, and 20 evokes the image of a sophisticated young adult. Yet 18 is just slotted awkwardly before this two ages. Like a gawky, coltish child suddenly thrusted into the limelight and expected to perform and impress.
Admittedly, many a person does not agree with me. In fact, these are my very own thinking. many ppl term the age 18 years as the golden time of life.Perhaps, I cant evalute anything positively. Actually, at this moment Im lilbit tense of my studies and upcoming HSC exam.
Well, split it.Now, me a young adult? I hardly think so.if I'm now considered a young adult? What does being a young adult mean?I can vote, I can back home after 8-9pm(!), I go anywhere, I can have intelligent conversations, I am a university student-to-be, I am capable now of earning my own money. Is this the definition of a young adult? Or isthere something I'm missing here?
I guess I'll have to wait and see. The future is as yet opaque to me.
