If I were older, it'd be reason for a mid-life crisis

I just went through Myspace and searched through my high school to see who I could find after a few old friends found me there. In searching, I found that AT LEAST 75% of the graduates of 2002 are either married or engaged. How sad is that? Not that they're all happy, but that I'm so far behind lol. People get married so early now it seems. They're all 21 and 22. But also, now that I think about it, my parents were married when my mom was 22. So when looking at it that way, it doesn't seem so young anymore. I guess I still see myself as 18 and just out of high school, not an adult ready for such life-changing decisions as marriage and children. I'm getting old so fast and I haven't accomplished anything worthy of mentioning yet. A few weeks ago when Mike turned 21 he pointed out just how old you start to feel. (And for some reason Brad and Darren told him to impregnate a girl... and while Miles and I later amongst ourselves questioned why they were saying that and the reasoning behind it, Mike didn't seem stunned by them telling him to do that at all, or act as if he found it odd. Weird. Anyway, that's a completely different story and quite off topic.) So yeah, if everyone is already married or getting married in the next year, and they've all been together 2-4 years, think of how long I have. I'm definitely in no rush for those things, but as of now I'm not going to be at a point in a relationship to be married til I'm 24-26, if using the same timeline. And that's assuming I meet someone soon. If not it can be far later. And the good ones get taken pretty soon, lol.
I'm being bothered over nothing, I know it. But sometimes you can't help but think about these things.
