20 years old

Pretty soon I'll be about 20 years old, which means that I have been on this planet for about 20 years.  A lot has happened to me in the last 20 years and I think I have optimism about the future.  Overall, I'll  give my life about a B-.   It has it's ups and downs, but I don't think there was anything out of the ordinary.  I did a lot of amazing things, but for the most part, I was an ordinary kid.

Some things that I do regret about my youth.  I have never dated in high school, but I thought about it, maybe dating in high school is really a waste of time.  I haven't really driven in high school until about my last year, but at least I am safe.  But  I was in things such as the band and the choir, and I let my musical ability shine while I was performing on stage.

I may not have all the responsibilities of being a teenager, but at least there were some fun times.  But I was starting to realize that I had my head up my butt.  Most of my teenage life was probably spent on sites such as MySpace and Quizilla, and going to sporting events.  Teenagers were not the most exciting during my days but we didn't care

Now I am an young adult and I can see optimism for the future.  Being 19 was one of the most boring years of my life, but if you think about it, a lot of things happened that were really important.  I was diagnosed with ADHD last summer and most of last year was getting adjusted to the medication.  Now, with the medication, I am a totally different person when I was in high school, or even elementary school, and I think a lot of my problems will be solved if I was diagnosed.  Now I am approaching 20 and I have a feeling that things are going to be different.

I am better educated about the world around me and I have a sense of what is needed in society, so it is time for me to do some career planning.  I am planning on getting some interviews done for the jobs that I applied for and I am starting my life in the workplace getting a job at McDonalds or some other business like a grocery store.  I never really worked during my teen years, so this will be a life changing experience for me.  If I get that job at whatever place the public lets me work at, I'll have an excellent education of the "real world."  I might develop a sense of confidence when I actually buy something I really want with my own money.  I am thinking about buying one of those iPad things or maybe a really good computer.

Next year I am moving to an different apartment so I might get new roommates.  This year was an repeat of last year for roommates.  Even worse, so my self esteem probably dropped.  The new roommates might open doors for new friends.  I am predicting that I am most likely going to have a girlfriend next year.

I have a feeling that the next year in my life is going to be a good one, and you never know what is going to happen, so live one day at the time.
