Well, it’s official. I’m 24 today. I think I’m handling that well. It’s just daunting to realize that another year has passed, and that it’s possible to another year older. Most days I don’t feel my age because it just doesn’t seem like I’ve been on this earth for 24 years. Most of the time I feel like it was only yesterday that I graduated from high school. How is it possible that next spring I’ll be graduating from college? It’s been a long road, but one I’m ready for. Maybe once I graduated and find a job, I’ll actually feel like an adult. Not that I necessarily feel like a kid, and not that I intend to become some sort of serious person all the time. I like that I can still laugh and joke around and have a real sense of humor. It seems like most adults just become so serious all the time that they just become completely and utterly boring. I don’t want to be like that.
Now that my birthday has arrived, I have several birthdays for friends and family coming up. My grandma’s is in early October, and two of my friends also have birthdays in October. My sister’s birthday is in November. Then we have Thanksgiving. Thankfully, I don’t have to buy gifts for that. Then in December my mom, grandpa, and brother all celebrate birthdays around Christmas time. I’ve been trying to come up something nice I could do for everyone for Christmas, but so far no christmas gift idea. I’ve been buying random things along the way, but I still have so much left to buy. My bank account hurts already.
