Today is the 25th day of me being 25. So far, so good, no major quarter life crisis. In these first formative days of the next chapter of my life I have had some really great moments, which include but are not limited to...
* Reconnecting with a elementary/middle/high school (hey - small town we all know each other) friend who i have not really hungout with/spoken to in NINE years
* On a similar note, learned that i do not like yukon gold but am willing to split a bottle with two other people when necessary
* Quality time with one of my dearest friends who rarely get to see
* Eight days in Florida
* Read four books+: Tipping Point (awesome), Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress (hysterical), the Namesake (could have lived without), Twilight (I think we all know how I felt about that one), and then i started Roadside Attraction (But sadly have not had a chance to revisit it)
* Said good bye to a friend who left for CA because of a guy (think Felicity - obv before the bad hair cut)
* Finished my second grad school class
* Learned the secrets to photo shopping and was assured no one looks THAT good in real life
* and of course started this blog
Sadly, I do have to accept that the following can just never happen:
* be a child prodigy: no one cares if you can read and do math when your in your 20s
* be a child star: although I am at the perfect age to star in a sitcom as a freshman in high school
* get casted on ANTM (not that i would really want to be on the show now, its going downhill): 25 is basically retired as a model
* get arrested as a juvinile (which is clutch as the event can be wiped clean before I enter the "real world" and yet i still have a story to tell at cocktail parties)
I guess the best thing to do at this point is look at all the things I've already done or gotten through. Of course one would think I was referring to those cutesy loving moments like first kiss, love, etc. No, I am refering to stuff that I no longer have to deal with now that I am definately an adult:
* I have already gotten through the times of when someone else (aka mom) has a say in what I wear. I now decide to put on whatever I feel like - except mon-friday 9-5 unless there is holiday...
* Don't have to be concerned about having an ID, because clearly I have been 21+ for four years. oh wait, didn't i get turned away this summer b/c i was without said ID and i was questionable...grrrrr
* At least puberty school is over and done with, so that should mean that i've outgrown my awkardness...right? come on... please? really??
So yeah that list was kind of a bust...oh well. guess in the end, i just need to be happy and hopeful for the great things to come. i'd say let's hope for smooth sailing, but i find that its the bumps in the road that make the ride fun :)
