The feeling of becoming old and leaving behind my childhood is setting in, and the point where I'll be out on my own is coming up much sooner than I want it to be.

It seems like each decision and action I make from now on will matter much more than ever as to how the rest of my life turns out, and I just don't think I'm ready for such responsibility yet.

I'm sure when the time counts I'll be able to adjust accordingly, but still, at this point my mind is still definitely that of a child's who doesn't want any responsibility yet..

Is this being brought on by the last semester of college/university? 'Cause if it's not, then you'll feel even more so when it does come around....

Yeahhh I can only imagine :(

My last quarter in college will probably be after December of this year, or possibly April of next year. I'll try to elongate it as long as possible, I reallllly do not want to ever leave college.

And PS I've been 21 for about a week now..

you'll only be a year older than back when you were 20. I'm 22 now, and it honestly doesn't feel much different from 21. People still card me at bars, and old people still don't respect me. I have a feeling looks matter more than age =\

I have similar feelings. What gets me is that it seems like life is just passing me, with me wasting it away and never acheiving anything. I look around and I don't seem too different from my peers - I work part time, got to school, study, get average marks, go out with friends. And yet, this damn feeling won't go away.

Yeah..I mean I don't feel any less accomplished than any of my peers, and to be honest I'd rather be in my shoes than some of theirs'..but still I feel as if life will just pass me by as I know it, and one day I'll be waking up and I'll be 30 with a dead-end job, with no family and still not able to figure out what I want with my life..

I couldn't be further from dead opposite. I have been frequently called a 45 year old in the body of a college kid and I am constantly frustrated by the few responsibilities that society witholds from me.

<<<< been living on own since 17 and still not legal to drink yet

Don't worry. In my eyes, you will always be a juvenile.

turning 21 was like nothing for me. im almost 24 now and well.... still dont feel any different.

i guess the whole growing old thing could suck, i guess we should all just take advantage of our time while we can.

You are in the best part of life. You are not a child having to depend on someone to take care of you. You have great health. You have time to explore, go anywhere, and do anything.

Take advantage of this. You do not want to wake up one day 65 years old and full of regrets.

I turned 21 a little while ago, and I feel almost the opposite. I'm more than ready for the responsibility. I feel like the things I do and decisions I make will finally count for something. I can't wait til I graduate this May and I'm finally on my own.

Oh, and happy birthday :D

Well, if you can't get past "should I kill the spider and thus win the gratitude and undying love of this hot girl, or should I run from the spider, screaming like a little girl?" .............

I'm 18 and I'm the same way. Damn angsty 21 year olds! You're supposed to have acclimated to the adult world by now.
