10 years ago....

It has been 10 years since I graduated high school. High Point High School to be exact. I can't believe it's been 10 years. I remember like it was yesterday, worrying about finals, discovering that finals really didn't matter especially since I was already enrolled in the summer session at UMD, feeling a sense of freedom because not only was I done with my public school career, I had my driver's license and a car! Wow, I still remember having that feeling, it was one of those "here I come world, and I'm unstoppable". Boy, was I naive. I'm thinking adulthood would beat the pants off of teenager life but NO. Absolutely not. Sure, there are a lot of advantages of being an adult but in all honesty, I'd trade that in a second so I could relive my teenage years again. I had so much energy, I was so full of life, I was thin! Now, 70 lbs later... I can't believe I let myself get this way. I hate working, I really would just love to be in school and learn new things. That'd be the best thing ever. So all you teenagers out there complaining about life and saying you hate it and all these other negative things, just you wait. Adulthood will be there waiting to suck the life of you carefree existence.
