I am finally turning 18 , stepping into the adult world , well almost. I have waited to attain this number ( isn't age just a number ) since I don't know how long. Now that I'm 18 I can actually do the following ( kick yourself if you think even one is worth looking forward to):
a) Vote , like my vote is going to change the way things are in the country.
b) Get a permanent driving license , big deal everyone has it (even kids )and now when I see 12 year olds driving , I feel like shaking them back to life , shouldn't they be cycling or watching tom and jerry instead of flaunting their activas at 100 km/hr . Things were so different when I was a kid.
c) Sign up for things or sites that allow only adults. I did that before too , now the only difference will be the clicking on the little box will be guilt free.
d) Donate blood , this one is a real cause , but my HB doesn't allow , screw it.
e) Marry , noooooooooooooo , I am still a sixteen year old at heart and this requires a lot of responsibility something that is coming to me only after 30.Here I am not talking about career related responsibility, I am quite serious about that.
Nothing except getting a driving license excites me. Thankfully I won't have to tell my mama to drive me across the city ( she feels that she is my taken for granted chauffeur) .
I always thought I'll become matured or atleast act matured when I am 18. Alas! How wrong I was?Being truly independent, means a lot and takes a lot. And I also know sooner or later, the time will come to take control of my life and I'll have to behave and think like an adult. Scared I am, but I think I'll certainly be able to call myself a qualified full fledged adult. Right now I don't fell any difference , I'm still the sixteen year old I was two years back.
For now I am going to celebrate my first steps into adulthood by watching 'Chronicles of Narnia 'and a shopping spree ( probably exclusively for me ) something we girls are really good at with my best buddies.
