"How did it get so late so soon?
Its night before its afternoon.
December is here before its June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?"
-Dr. Suess

Its crazy how fast college went by and how fast I got older. We are all older. I have friends getting married, I'm going to law school, by boyfriend has a actual well paying job in the business world. When did we become adults? I still feel like Im a kid. I think of adults as people who are like 45. But when I was 12 I thought of people our age as adults. You know, I dont think I will ever fully think of myself like that. Its impossible. I'll never feel any specific age, I'll just feel like me.

And the crazy part is that time will just keep moving faster and all of a suden we'll be 25 then 30, settling down, having kids, being responsible. I think leaving college is the real step though. After college you really are in the real world, even, to some extent, if you're still going to grad school. People aren't there to look after you and treat you like you need to be kept in line etc. And we all want that type of freedom, we all think we dont want people treating us like that. But at the same time, its a constant show of people caring about your welfare. After college we'll be a lot more on our own. And I think that most of us will miss that feeling of being looked after more than we think we will. And I dont mean that in a depressing way, its just strange.

Ah. Anyways. I need to start feeling every second of life more. I dont want to all of a sudden be 30 and be like huh? how did this happen. I think that feeling is unavoidable though. Alas. Alack. Anon.
