ive turned 18 a few days ago and am so legally adult.
my bank accounts are finnally completely mine. im allowed to learn to drive. got voting rights.
today i went trough my submitted review list. i couldnt believe how my review style has evolved in the years im here on NG. i went from "that sucks" to "it could have been way better" kind of reviews.
i suddenly feel so OLD (im currently entering my early life crisis :P).
my time as a carefree teenager and ignorant child are behind me and im clueless at what to do now.
im going to have to take on a side-job since im paying health insurance now and its time to think about my future (heres hoping the latter wont take years as how some college students are portrayed).
i know that nobody is going to read this (at least not on purpose) but im glad that i will always have a public place where i can drop my thoughts.
