Not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing.
not really. When I lived at home I was unhappy, my parents were always fighting and I felt lonely. I had no money and I hated school. Having said that I laughed a lot more than I do now.
But generally I think young days are overrated. I like having money to do what I like and freedom.
I wouldn't call myself old anyway, 21 in a few months and will hopefully be in my final year this time next year at uni then it's into the real world.
We didn't
im 18, living away from home, perfect situation. i'd like to be 18 for the rest of my life please
things are good now, dont get me wrong! but i think 18-21 are the best years since sliced bread.
Ignorance is bliss.
Now I'm older, I enjoy everything about christmas and the run up to it, buying presents for people (I'm the only person I know who enjoys Christmas shopping - especially on Christmas Eve, I'll run down just to see if there's any little stocking fillers I can pick up! I love the atmosphere), I enjoy wrapping the presents, putting up the decorations, having/going to all my mini Christmas parties, planning nights out, CHRISTMAS DINNER, the cheesy music and dancing aorund to them at 1 in the morning with my Dad while he's on call from work, spending time with my family, etc.
Oh, and Santa
That's exactly what the boyfriend said to me last night, as we were decorating his bedroom. "You wait til we have kids, our house will look like Santa's Grotto!"
Stop thinking go back to when I was younger and try thinking what would my older self do If they could go back to the age I am now.
If I could go back to 21 Id do things differently study harder take more chances etc, maybe Id do 3 years in the Army.
Things change as you get older what was cool is no longer what wasnt cool can become cool. Popular people at 18-21 who are "sucsesfull" at that age is measured differently than when your 31
Also enjoyed cooking at 19.
At 18 I enjoyed the sex.
At 17, sex again.
At 16, girls flirting and kissing.
At 15, cinema trips where your parents gave you money, and asked for change, but never minded when you spent that £10 on a burger king for you and your cute female friend too. Well, they might have minded but you always got away with it.
At 14, that was the 'omg im a teenager with a nasty voice and bus vibrations make me hard'
At 13, that was the 'do people know I wank?
At 12, that was the ':o I made a mess but THIS FEELS GOOD'
At 11, that was the 'omg I have a pubic hair'
At 10; 'lets play armies and kill the girls'
At 9; 'ewwwww you've got a girlfriend'
At 8; 'football'
7; 'football'
6; 'football'
5; 'football'
4; having massive scraps with your brothers and sisters
3; erm, I can't remember this far back
Yea, I wish I was young again. To be fair, life is always in equilibrium, equally crap. It's just crap in different ways. So we should embrace the good bits. Right now, I'm sitting in my room, and have no responsibilities what the hell. I get more money than I can spend from the uni, and am actually planning to spend a great chunk of it on a motorbike
Maybe spend a little more on a Nintendo Wii. I just bought myself a PC for £900.
Ah, the lack of responsibilities. I have assignments I should have done, but then I tell my tutor I haven't done them and he says 'well they're not that important anyway'. Win!
I actually feel a whole lot better about myself now
haha still young over here!!
And who played iwht Action man @ Secondary school age:nervous:
school was ok, summer holidays were great when I was younger, so yeah, maybe
Nothing bad really happened when I was little, and the most stress you had was falling out with your mate for the afternoon!
Not done your homework? why ever not? it was only colouring in!
Love it!
this is very true-
being 16 is ok but college and 2 jobs is a lot of work, so im dreading years to come where i REALLY have to work.
ive been clubbing/pubbing since i was 14 so im actually bored of it now, which is a bit sad really, im going to start going to london instead of my town.
i just feel too big for my town i want to grow up and get out and see the world.
saying that my summer was the best- young love and ecstasy and getting stoned and sunbathing and long lie ins, cant wait for the next one!
im looking forward to my uni days enourmously, everyone says theyre the best years of your life so im going to make mine AMAZING.
childhood was the best though. i miss father christmas:crying:
Where did he go?
