Rejoice in the fact that you are at the magical stage of life where you should know about everything! When I was in college, most of my peers "had it all figured out" and thought that the just about "knew it all".
As you approach your 30's (I'll be 33 in August) you will gain the wisdom that you knew NEXT TO NOTHING in your younger years. As a matter of fact, I have found that the older you get, the more you learn that YOU HAVE A LOT MORE TO LEARN!
We were IDIOTS when I was younger!!!!!! The great irony is that I would NOT have listened to any wisdom from the person that I am now when I was young and foolish and "knew almost everything" 😉

<<Older guys are okay if you don't give him sexual gratification though. My friends and I were at a club and we were around until five AM. A guy who must have been 40 or 50 decided he wanted to dance with us. We let him in in a circle, but pretty much acted like if he wasn't there. When we were about to leave, he offered to take us somewhere to get something to eat. We were hungry so how could we resist? The guy took us to Denny's. We(three other guys and me) and this guy got something to eat and it was really cool, because that guy paid for everything . W00t free food .>>

<< on tuesday im turning 21.......
i feel soooo old...
where has all the time gone....
i feel i havent accomplished anything....
to those that are older than me...is there anything i can look forward to??? >>
too many cool things to list here,I'm gasp.. 45 and it ain't bad !!! Happy Birthday to you dude 🙂
I'm 35 and to paraphrase Jim Kelly from Enter The Dragon I don't even waste my time with gettin' old, and if it happens I won't even notice........because I'll be too be lookin' good 😛
Funny thing is, mostly negative things were listed above.
I'm going to be 39 very soon, and I wouldn't go back to my 20's for anything. Here's some advantages that I have that I didn't in my 20's:
No longer told "you'll understand when you're older" (and I do now!!)
You're no longer considered an idiot just because you're young.'
You get more respect in stores or business because people assume you have better credit and spending power. (and you do).
Kids. I know, I didn't understand it either when I was in my 20's. But I do now.
Enough money in the bank account to buy damn near anything you want on a whim.
Owning your own house.
Buying a pistol.
Not feeling like I should have my hair a particular way or dress a particular way because my friends do. In my day, you were supposed to have long hair. I look at my Senior picture in high school and college and just shake my head at what an idiot I looked like.
Insurance drops drastically at age 25.
Cops give you the benefit of a doubt.
Your parents respect you like an adult, not a child.
Not dependant on anyone for anything.
There's more, but like I said, I wouldn't go back 20 years for a million bucks unless I was able to know now what I didn't then.
Regards!
ps, my five year old is even worried about turning six. He doesn't want to grow up. I just remind him of all the things he'll get to do later that he can't now. Similar situation to yours, but not exactly the same.
