Wow!! O_o
Hehe excuse the title. Have you ever wondered or realized how fast you are growing up? Well here is my story: I first realized when I am growing up when I get more telephone calls than my mom. :lol: So yeah I have just received another call when I decided to look through the caller ID and man I used the phone a lot! Half of the calls from the past week was for me!
So discuss: When did you realize that you are starting to grow up? What are some things in your everyday household do you use a lot? Are you surprised at how much you use it? Do you receive as much phone calls as I do? |
When you realise that you have to move out and handle everything yourself - a scary moment that one.
Also when you realise that a few years ago, you couldn't conceive of being as old as you are now. xD |
^^
Still I am young and have to learn a lot more! xD I guess you are right
|
D: The reality of getting older hit me about two years ago when alot of responsibilities were given to me.
D: Cooking, cleaning, washing. >_< |
D8 I've had that happen lately. No one pays much attention to my birthdays so it's not really a big thing as I get older. But I'll be going into College in four months or so. And I'm already making plans of how I'm going to live when I move out in two years at the age of 18. I never thought I'd live to see the day that I'd be planning out my life for after I move out. XD
|
^^
I have never thought of what I will do after I move out xD Sure I want to finish my college and become a doctor but I am still not ready for being a mother or handling work and stuff like that.

Anyone else?

I'm 17, so when I finish sixth form I'll most likely be going to university. I'll definitely be moving away from home even if I go to a local uni. I think that's when I'll have to grow up.
On the phone call front, I don't like using the phone. Most of the calls to our house are for my mum and she probably calls out of the house the most as well. By the way, Addielyn, double posting on Menewsha is not allowed. You're supposed to edit your first post if you have something to add =) |
I guess turning twenty opened my eyes to the fact that I've grown up. I still live at home with my parents but it's scary to think about what I'll do when I move out in two years or so. I have something of a Peter Pan complex. :(

*giggles*
Wow this is actually a really funny topic to see all of the sudden seeing as me and my best friend just had a discussion like this the other day. While first of let me start by saying that I am 20. I remember when I realized that I was actually growing up. It had been a week before my graduation from high school all the seniors had gathered in the gym for the Senior picture. I was looking around and thinking wow this is the last time that I am going to see this place from the inside while I am a student here. And thats when it hit me. What happened to the last years?? It seemed like just yesterday I as a Seventh grader in middle school trying out for the basketball team. Now all of the sudden I am graduating High School with massive achievements and in the top twenty of my class. But if I look back I cant remember how it went by so quickly. It made me really sad to look at all the faces that I had gone to school with a majority of them I had even known since kindergarden. Heck I know a lot of them since preschool. Now we were all here. At this final mark before we all went our different ways and did our different things. Needless to say I held it together for the picture then went home and cried. I still to this day use the computer more then anyone in my house. I am a graphics design major and and MMO addicted so I am on from when I first wake up in the morning to the time when I realize...oh its three am i guess i should go to bed. Im not surprised at how much I actually use it I am more shocked that with as much as I use it I still cant seem to get everything done that I need to. *giggles* I dont receive a ton of phone calls I get more text messages then I can deal with sometimes though. It seems like none of my friends want to actually ever talk on the phone but they will text you any time of the day or night. *sighs* Wow this has brought back some memories. Thank you for that. ^_^ |
This topic terrifies me. I think the only reason I know I'm growing up is that I'm a Junior in high school and people constantly reminding me:
'Turn in your transcripts' 'What colleges are you planning on attending?' 'Do you have a job yet?' 'Tuition is expensive I hope you know that.' It's so scary to me. I'm almost 18 and soon I'll be out on my own. Soon I won't have my mom to kiss my booboos everytime I mess up. That in it's own scares the (pardon my french) shit out of me. I depended on my mom for 18 years and suddenly I have to support myself. I hope I'm sucsessful along the way. D: |
I haven't grown up yet. *3* And I don't think I will for quite a while. :: is 18 :: |

I love this statement! And I honestly think that it is so true for me to in the sense that I dont want to grow up and there is the saying that you are as young as you want to be. I am always happy and hyper like a little kid and I love that. So I guess in a way I haven't grown up yet and I dont think that I will for quite a while too. ^_^ |
I would have to say that I'm still not really grown up yet. I'm still going to school, I'm in college and I still live at home. Yes I have a boyfriend, job, go to school, and pretty much provide for myself...but in the end my parents are still the ones that REALLY provide for me. At this point in my life, even with the good job that I have I could not afford to live on my own. Yes, I do have some money saved up but it would be one of those things where I take one step forward and two back.

@ Elemental ~ Mmmhhm, you're very right. You are only as old as you want to be. My bf is 21 and is still uncertain about his career and he still jumps around like a little kid. :] Life is more interesting that way. |
I realised, that I started to grow up, when I realised, that I don't use an average homephone anymore, only cell phone and that my friends knew only my cell phone number. Plus I started to go out for a long time and in the city centre. Before that I wasn't even allowed to do that.
|
Mine would have to be like Archer's, I'm going to turn 20 soon and the thought of being out in the world fending for myself does freak me out a bit. I know I wouldn't be completely out on my own because I have my family and all, but I can't rely on that so much any more. That's a really scary thought.
The moment that I really realized that I was going to be off on my own soon was in high school when I was constantly asked what I was going to do with my life, what I was going to study and realizing that I had no idea what I wanted. That freaked me out. I felt really behind cause I was the only one (or so I believed anyway) that didn't have a plan ready. I'm in college right now studying to become a professional photographer and I'm really loving it, but I constantly worry that it might not be enough. I'm thinking about studying something else besides that, but that's still up in the air until I think it through better. Growing up is definitely hard. Sometimes my professors make me feel that if I'm not constantly working I'm wasting my time...like if I have fun I'm wasting precious time that I should dedicate towards my future. It can't all be work and no play. I'll die if it's like that. X_x |
Most teens have phones glued to their ears. I never got it? I much prefered talking face to face or online.
Times I feel old are when I can remember the Amiga 2000 and people say "What's that?" When I remember MSN version1, when neopets first started and when internet first started appearing in schools. When I moved into my own place and started paying my own bills and when I got my full time job. But then I stopped realizing I'm growing up and feel young again. then it hits me all over again. |
Actually, just yesterday I realized how old I am, and it shocked me. Because, I don't wish to grow up... it's times like these that you wish there really was a Neverland.
I think deep down, we'll always have that inner child. :] I know I will. It's what makes life so fun. |
I have only grown up a little, not much.
Before I guess I would be one of those people who would laugh at anything or everything. But now I find a lot of things hardly funny while everyone starts laughing. It's not like I don't get the joke though, I get it but don't find it funny in anyway. It's weird, I used to help around the house acting mature, but now I'm getting lazy and not helping around as much anymore either. I'm starting to use the computer a lot more than I would and much longer, even if I have nothing to do, I would just go online and find something to do. But I guess I'm still a kid with a matured mind. |
I realized that when I matured at age 9 >.>
|
Oh wow.I did realize that when I moved to a new school,I've been texting a WHOLE lot more that my bill overflowed. xD And then I got unlimited texting wich I still have now! ^^ I know this has nothing to do with growing up...I think. ^^;;
|
I just realized this year how fast I was growing up!
I kinda miss being little! I miss not knowing any better! I miss being naive! T_T It's kinda sad. |
Well when I had to start paying bills as soon as I turned 18. I had to grow up all at once and I am still having trouble with it. x_X;
