From Adolescent to Grown Adult

        It's safe to say that this journey has been a long one. Still, I remember my freshmen year and how new everything was. High school was definitely a learning period for me and a bunch others. Along the way adolescents should have learned social skills, common sense, good habits, and quality information. Who really did all of those things? Social skills, sure, but good habits? Man I was lucky to ignore all the bad habits that I learned. If I'm being honest then all the "quality information" that adults (such as teachers, elders, and parents) tried to teach me went in one ear and out the other. Now, I'm on my way to college and a new chapter of my life has opened. New car, New campus....New problems. Already I've seen friendships diminish, while others try to desperately hang on to whats left. Not me, my circle is so small its a period. Just kidding! All of my friends are great and we're keeping in touch. its funny how we went from face-to-face conversations to phone calls every day, almost, but it happened and we make effects to hang out, which are very successful. I know that others can't sing that happy tune. Such is life, we lose some some and then we gain some. instead of losing some I keep gaining and hopefully this trend will continue. 
       Parents love giving speeches. I find it really convenient that they are ready to release you into the world at eighteen and just as your walking through the golden doors of freedom they say, "Pay your own bills."Like seriously! what are bills. I know now, they are little pieces of hate mail sent to destroy your life. How am I supposed to pay tuition, and pay for my car, my books, my food, gas, my phone bill, and not die? It's almost impossible and yet some survive. If you thought this was my life, think again. My mom has proven herself to awesome. I can stay home for free and my tuition is paid for thank to scholarships. all that leaves is the little stuff and that's okay because I have a rock beside me and she won't let me fall...too hard. Still, this is the time to make mistakes, better now then later when it really counts. If you've followed my journey then thanks. I will keep posting and you can keep reading. Til next time......
