I became 18 prior 6 months. It is pretty exciting, right? You have finally earned your freedom to make independent decisions whether to study abroad or go clubbing at night with friends. No one can stop the budding adult.
Whoever tries to clip our imaginary wings? You have my sympathies.
I was excited as an over-enthusiastic kid who for the first time is celebrating first birthday and for me, 18 is a threshold to adulthood.
I harbored this dream about being an adult who is financially independent and who is only answerable for her. This is too matured.
I should perhaps think about having boyfriends, making-out session with a complete stranger in a buzzing bar and booze all night. It’s awesome!!!
I have had such thoughts come across my mind

This is my self-analysis of my own life and most importantly, Lazy and parents disapprove partying. My parent’s ideology is that friendship should be based on trust and intellectual growth not being a matchmaker to each other or covering up each other’s mistakes. Intellectual growth??? Who thinks so deep as pristine water in a well these days? You have many kind of friends from 4-am friends to Facebook friends and no one has time to be interested in such superfluous discussions.
I think I have the full authority to become the queen of my life and do what I want. Instead of cracking my head on studying, I could pursue my interests like origami and short stories. I will like to go out and explore this world and be rich but then a reality hits back at me and sarcastically adds: ‘Hey, what do you think you are a Queen? Nothing comes free except for smiles, dreams and death. You need to work day and night to achieve your dreams. Don’t grow idle.’
Life is becoming thrice difficult to live as today, my age-group friends are doing awesome work in their chosen field like our Olympic champion, Simone Biles and many more. It is just overwhelming and the only one who win are the ones with something special or a honed-skills since
When you are eighteen you have to ability to buy virtually anything you desire, eat anything you want, smoke anything you want, and drink anything you want, except alcohol, but why? I’ve waited so long to enjoy my newfound freedom, but can’t drink alcohol. What do you mean? At eighteen, I am allowed to purchase cigarettes, fight and die in wars, purchase firearms, or even get married, but no alcohol. This seems so un-American, a country I can live and die for, but cannot have an alcoholic beverage.
There is not enough time to waste in the world without completing something, and there is not enough time in the world to keep failing. However, there is enough time in the world to achieve that dream, goal, and opportunity before the clock is
Most young adults in the United States cannot wait to turn 21, so they can drink alcohol, but not this girl. I was from a smaller community and rarely ventured farther than the rusted barb wire fences of my families ranch. However, shortly after my 21st birthday life began to change. Applications got submitted, then came interviews, tests and more interviews. “You’re hired” said a voice on the other end of the phone.
Growing up a swimmer, I know how much work it takes just to swim 0.1 seconds faster in a race. From hours working on technique, to a couple minutes of sprints after practice, the chances of change are gradually increased. If any athlete is asked if it takes dedication to achieve his or her goals, almost all will answer yes. Progress is not made without determination. Like athletes, people during the time of Chicago World’s Fair possessed a lot of ambition.
Everything I do in life is compensated by hard work. It will carry on for the rest of my life, when I am working someday, I’ll be the one working over the weekends, late nights and overtime so I can achieve my goals in life. Do you think I was the one chosen to have the fate of a hockey tournament in my hands if i didn't push myself? I am willing to do the things people aren’t.

In recent years, it has become more and more apparent that the adolescents of today are unfit for the responsibilities currently available to them. Equipping someone who is unable to fathom the risks of the decisions they make with the power to put themselves and others in danger is far too precarious. For this reason, the age at which adolescents become adults currently established is dangerously low. The age of legal adulthood should be 25, because at this age young adults are truly capable of comprehending the consequences of their actions and are able to handle the responsibilities of adulthood.
Lowering the drinking age: risky or safe? When teenagers turn 18, they are told that they are adults and are sent into the world. They go to college, get a job, marry or join the military. They do grown-up things like vote, pay taxes and become parents, but they can 't go to the bar for a beer.

The current minimum legal drinking age, also known as MLDA, in America is 21. Numerous debates still occur today about the minimum drinking age.
“When I grow up I want be a princess.” Almost every little girl 's dream was to grow up and live the life of the princesses we saw in movies. It was not until I actually started to analyze the movies that I realized that I do not want to be the princess I see on the screen. For so long I fell in love with the idea that I will one day find a man who will take care of me. I also pushed myself to fit the image of a “perfect princess”.
