So, I'm turning 26 tomorrow. In the grand scheme of things, 26 is not really all that big of a deal, unless you're a super-senior who has spent approximately eight years on a Bachelor's degree. Gahhh...
Honestly, I'm pretty sure that my age wouldn't bother me in the slightest except that I'm at a small private college, I'm back for my final quarter after taking a gap year, and apparently I look a lot younger than my age, because people have asked me if I was a new Freshman. But I think that's mostly the gap-year talking.
In any case, I'm feeling older than I have any right to because I'm largely surrounded by teenagers and early-twenty-somethings. Once I graduate and have long-term job/get published, I'll probably get back into perspective. Or not. It doesn't help that I'm officially over half my mother's age, starting tomorrow.
Happy Birthday to Me! =^-^;=
