Growing up and growing older.

8.23.20

Well, I guess the first sign that I’m getting older is that I managed to delete an entire section of this blog (hopefully I can find this later – the internet works in mysterious ways)! Anyway, I am now twenty-one years old, and find myself caught in an interesting mix of youth and adult responsibilities.

While I’m looking forward to getting older and getting out of this odd mix of “adult but not adult enough,” I look around and sometimes I wish life would slow down. Young adults aged eighteen to twenty-two are put in such an interesting position in United States’ society: some are still almost entirely dependent on their parents, and others have already moved out, are working to scrape by, and have partners and children.

At any rate, this is my first year in the past sixteen years I have not been enrolled full-time in school, and it’s certainly a weird feeling. I’m looking forward to getting back to school in the future, and I will tackle the GREs, no matter what it takes!
