ever since I turned 23, I feel extremely old and the future scares me more. It really hit me I was growing up when I was filling out my student teaching application yesterday. this paper marks my last semester as a college student. watching re-runs to Say Yes to the Dress probably doesn’t help either because I am always wondering will I ever get married. I don’t go out as much. I spend most of my days going to school, doing homework, going to the gym, and going to bed at a decent hour. It’s really hard for me to accept the fact Im growing up. It only makes me want to do something crazy or start accomplishing things on my bucket list. Yesterday, I thought about road tripping across the US for about a half hour. I am hopping to make that possible this summer after I graduate. I guess I need to stop looking at my age as a step closer to losing my youth and embrace the future no matter how scary it seems.
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional
