"I'm getting older, too"

In a legal sense, you become an adult at age twenty-one, so for all intents and purposes I have been an adult for over a year now. Here are some things I've discovered about what being an adult means.

-Being petulant isn't cute anymore, people just think you are childish.
-The holidays are what you make them.
-You can't always get what you want.
-You realize that life is getting shorter everyday, so you don't have time to be shy, pretend to like people you don't, or keep secrets.
-Spending time with younger people makes you feel younger and better so you try to do it whenever you can.
-Alone time is very important.
-Sleep is also very important.

I think I'm going to work on that last one right now. Merry Christmas!
