it's my birthday...

yep. It's here!! I'm 20 and my golden year is over... I'm leaving my teenage years behind me. I can't decide if I am happy about that or not, but I think it is a good thing. I can no longer be classified as a teenager! YES. But that means I need be mature and people might actually start taking me seriously. I am not allowed to be annoying, fail tests, or not be responsible and blame it on my teenager-dom... I'll have to find some other super legitimate reason for coming up short in life :) But being super responsible and smart and amazing just automatically happens once you turn 20... right?! That's what I hear at least! Ohh welll.... I think the perks of being 20 will far outweigh any perks of being a teenager. Wait, what am I saying, are there any perks of being a teenager??! Probably not. But I am still getting a little nostalgic thinking about how fast I am growing up... These years need to slow down a little so that I can enjoy them.

But now I say ciao to my teenage years. To the years of sneaking into the Stapley pool and playing hide&go seek in WalMart. To the years of running around the halls of my Junior High School in silly outfits and joining a million little clubs in High School just so I get out of class more. Here's to food fights and detention. To high school dances and all day track invitationals. Here's to night games, best friends, drama, and crushes. Well, it looks like not much has actually changed, but my teenage years were definitely the best.

...man, those were the days...
