AAAHHHHHHHHH

I’ll be turning 18 in a week, and I’m kind of nervous to be honest. I know not much will change considering I pretty much am already self-sufficient, but it’s still I big change. It’s a big turning point in my life, and it’s making me realize just how close I am to being done with high school. No one really prepares you for adulthood, I feel totally not ready to have all of these responsibilities put onto my shoulders. Now I can go to prison (scary, I wouldn't do very well in prison), my family can kick me out if they wanted to, and I can buy cigarettes (I don’t smoke, but still that’s scary).

I am excited for the freedom though, I’m happy I can now do things without getting my mom’s permission, go to 18+ events, and work in a lingerie shop, which is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. I remember being really young and looking forward to turning 18 and feeling like it was so far away, and now it’s only 9 days away. It amazes me how time has gone by so fast, it feels like not that long ago I was walking into AACT for the first time, and in a few months I’ll be leaving here for good.

I’m really nervous to be thrown into adulthood, but I’m also really excited to go off on my own and experience everything for myself and start my own life.

But seriously, I can go to prison now.
