I dunno man, but it's coming up.

So far I'm sooo excited. Cause it's college for me, and about 10 of my best friends already go to the one I'm going to. So next year is going to fucking rock.

well im 18 in a few weeks and to be honest - to me its not that much of a big change, you think it is because it sounds like a big thing but its not, as long as you still live with your parents everything stays the same, they do the washing food pay the bills etc lol

now when you move out the house and into your own place thats when it gets tough

You dont have to worry about anything just chill out and hire some mexican slaves around the house or somethin :stoned:

Being 18 wasn't as weird as being 21 and realizing how much you have changed. You are still just a teenager when you are 18...I was still in High School. I think I partied a lot more than, or more out of control rather. Sucked at handling my alcohol and got all crazy and drunk all the time off of hard alcohol. I would have to find places besides home to smoke at...had to find places to drink...sometimes we would just drink downtown and be wreckless in the streets.

It's weird because 18 doesn't seem that long ago then I see all these 18 year olds fresh out of High School that live in my building and they are definitly younger.

I got like all my piercings and tattoos when I was 18. That was cool.
18 isn't that weird of an age. 20 I think was the weirdest age really...

Shit. I'm going to be 30 in little more than a year. You want to talk about feeling OLD?

Lol, I hate life .

I wish I could go ahead and be old. I've always wanted to be old and have always enjoyed the company of old people more than kids my age. One of the greatist relationships I've ever had was with my grandfather on my dad's side. I would listen to him tell stories literally for hours on end and I never got bored. I think I just hate people like me. I have to seek out people vastly different from me because when I'm around them I'm less like myself. I figure soon, I will be able to divorce myself from myself and recreate myself into a completely different human bien, the man I've always wanted to be.

What're you going to do when you finish high school, Orangeman? Go to college, I hope? You're a smart young man with lots of potential. I ask because I think often when you have a plan for the future and know where you're headed next, the oncoming milestone birthdays seem less significant.

When I was your age, I remember thinking turning 21 would be strange. It seemed like the be-all, end-all grownup birthday, after which all I had to look forward to was the bleak adult years of bills and responsibilities. But in reality no one turns around one day and is suddenly grown up just because of a birthday. It's a gradual process. I don't think I really achieved true grownup status till I was 26. Some days I still wonder whether I'm there or not. . .

Yeah, getting older just means more bills. Rent, H2O, electricity, gas bill, car note (though my mom still pay's mine), and debt. You also now get to be charged as an adult :rasta: But it's not all bad in a few more years you will be able to legally buy beer and hit the casino's.

I still need financial help from my parents every few months because something is about to get cut off and I'm in my early 20's. As long as you have parents that are willing to help you out when you need it you will be fine. In all honesty I'm just not good at budgeting money. So most of it is my own fault.
