I went to the doctor’s this week, just for a normal checkup, but while talking with my mom she had mentioned that since I was 17 I was basically an adult. Not going to lie, it kind of hit me like a brick. I’m so close to being an adult now, I’ll be 18 in a year. It’s strange because I’ve always wanted to go to college and get out and see the world but now that adulthood is approaching so quickly it’s starting to freak me out. I can barely cook! I only know how to make toast, how am I supposed to function as an adult? I mean I know I am still a teenager basically, and very young, but despite my youth, I’m expected to start seriously thinking about my future and such in only less than a year. It’s bittersweet to me. I almost feel as though most of my teenage years have been robbed from me anyway, freshman year I wasn’t able to drive myself anywhere so I didn’t always get to hang out with friends, and then COVID hit sophomore year and I’ve been in my house ever since. When you’re a teenager I feel like you’re supposed to have all these amazing adventures with your friends but I haven’t had many due to COVID. I feel as though my teenage years are slipping away and adulthood is approaching too fast.
