I shall do what I like
A few more days to my BIG '2'...relishing and loving the time I still have on my hands to tell every single person out there that I am 19 years old...even though I put a different age on my sidebar. Now, in my mind, I am still 19 till the big day. This big day scares the hell out of me. Will no longer is a 'teen' because nineteen is the last in line for a teenager. I am stepping into adulthood, gradually and slowly. I don't feel any difference yet, but I know that that difference will come sooner or later.
But still, I don't want to grow up so fast!! I had made a promise ever since I was 15 (somewhere during that time I think) that I will never ever forget what it's like to be young and carefree, what I was thinking and how I was feeling when I am young. FOREVER. Of course, part of the reason is I want to remain young at heart, but mostly is that I don't want to be the one imposing on the younger generation on adulthood. I don't want them to tell me that "You don't understand me" in a few decades down the road whereby I should understand. I know how that feels.
I remembered my 1st day in JC's GP class, whereby we were talking about teenage years and it being the best time of our lives. We wondered, if 19 is the last age to be considered as a 'teen', and 21 is the first year to be considered as 'adult', then what is 20 considered as? Pre-adult? Post-teen?
It's time to ponder.
Guys, I am currently 19 years old. LOL...
Better hit my genes and society notes..Who would ever thought that a DNA molecule is made up of just a phosphate, a sugar and a base? I was expecting a more complicated molecule...but the study of it is very diffcult...
Cheerios.
