"Entering ADULTHOOD in point zero miles"

So going to College prepares you for training in what you want to do with your career. However, there is no course on how to become an Adult. How to deal with relationship games and how to recover from them. How to WISELY spend and save your money. Life after school is never what you hoped or expected it to be. It sucks actually. At first, that is. I think that coming to the realization that you don't have a clue what you're doing, is the first step. The second step, I'll let you know when I figure it out.

Going back to the visit and see a performance at the college I went to was fun. However, being there for more than a twenty-four hours made me realize, I don't belong there anymore. My time there came and went and it TRULY is time for me to move on with my life. Find a relationship with myself and with others that simply makes me feel better about myself and my life. Negativity really has no place in my life. I'm still very young, being only twenty-two years old. (weird) But foolish mind games and procrastination has no place in an adult mind/life. It's time to grow up and be around other Adults. I'm no longer a college kid. I'm a College Graduate and slowly but surely, becoming an "Adult."

When I think of the phrase, "coming of age," I think of teenagers entering into that "Adult feeling." Recent implementations have allowed me to come to the conclusion that "coming of age" is at the point, when you completely realize that you are no longer in any form of "childhood" or heading INTO "adulthood." It's when you are in the drivers seat, have already passed the "Welcome to Adulthood" sign and are now one of the integral components in the abounding population.

To quote Eric Mathews from Boy Meets World, "Life sucks. Get a helmet."

...And with that, I take my leave.
