Growing up(FC)

I am officially a senior, I guess I should be excited but I'm just not. I don't really like the idea of becoming an adult, I just want to go back in time to when I was a kid because that's when I truly had fun. In a way I sort of feel like Holden from The Catcher In the Rye because he absolutely hated the idea of becoming an adult, and I sort of understand where he is coming from. My teen years are going by super fast, I feel like I haven't even had the chance to have fun as teen. Most teens go out with their friends and have fun, but I haven't done much of that; I feel like I can barely catch my breath because of how fast everything is happening. I'm about to be 18 in a couple months and I think my cousins are probably more excited about that than I am; I just can't seem to understand everyone's excitement. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy my adult years more than my teen years.

    Agreed, time goes by fast, and one day we need to get a hold of it, and tell it to slow down.

    You bring up a lot of interesting points. Adults like to reminisce about how few responsibilities children and teens have, but I think adults forget how difficult it can be to grow up. Figuring out who your friends are, how you want to behave, which dreams to chase, and how to chase them is a lot of work! I also think in a lot of ways growing up makes these things easier. Yes, you may have some regrets, like I wish I had socialized more, but there is a lot of freedom and independence that comes with age. You can own your decisions as you age. I love the reference to Holden. I would suggest you try to stop longing for the past or worrying about the future and focus on making the most out of now.

    I completely agree
    its hard to take in the fact that we're seniors
    in a couple months from now , we are off to college
    I wish i can go back time and regret saying as a child "I wish i was older"
    Good Job though I really liked this blog
