2012 is when I am officially going to be completely into the adult world - I am now a young adult now and I can be respected. I can almost do whatever I can damn please as long as it's following the law and common sense. Now I have a whole life in front of me and my life has just begun, and it is about time for me to show the world what I got.
I am not a little punk anymore - people can start believing me and people don't have to boss me around anymore. I got the first effect when I was 18, but now I am getting the full effect. I can drink if I want to, I can screw if I want to, I can go party all night if I want to, I can jump in and get married if I want to; there is not too many things that I can't do.
But we have big brother - the government from keeping us from doing whatever we want to do. The government still thinks we are children and we need to be bossed around, and we are dumb, and don't have feelings.
At age 21, you have a high amount of fluid intelligence - you are educated and you know a lot, but it looks like you haven't really have a lot of crystallized intelligence, which is the intelligence that you need to survive in the adult world. True knowledge includes fluid and crystallized intelligence, which is the reason why older people are getting educated to keep them up to date with the modern knowledge. We need to have true intelligence - a combination of wisdom and book smarts to actually know what you are talking about.
I notice I feel a little bit strange when I first entered the adult world when I was 18. It was a shocker and I learned a lot. I came outside of high school expecting that I will have more college classes with my peers but it turns out I had entered the "adult world" when I had entered the college. I was the youngest one in the classroom and people were on a totally different level than me. They had actually lived life. I was used to having a classroom of all teenagers, but when there were a lot of 35 year olds, I had realized that I am the bottom of the heap and I am not important. I am a young punk.
Then I joined the community band - which featured people of all ages. I am not in the high school band; I am competing against the band director in other schools and other professionals. Some are even movers and shakers. If I am competing against the adult, that means I'm pretty good.
College choir has adults in it as well and I am starting to have more and more classes with adults. It seems like I am marked down and I am at the bottom of the totem pole.
I am going to try to enter the world and I am now competing against the big shots - there are lots of people that can cook and clean better than me, so it might be hard getting a job. But I should find out what I have competitive and excellent skills - I should develop an expertise and see where I can get a job. The pecking order is going to be stronger and I need to develop my skills to get into the real world - mediocrity is not going to work so I need to get my grades up. I might be competing against some 50 year old that had been there forever and that will think I am some young punk.
But once I do something; I am going to know my place. It looks like I know something and I can show other people what I know.
But there is going to be some better points about being 21 and older. It will be easier to find love - any girl that basically half way friendly to me can be dating material; it is not like high school or college where you have a definitive social structure, but the age is going to change to social structure, making the older ones the true wheels.
I need to get that high school thing out of my system - girls are going to like me in the real world. All college girls are looking for sex and how big my you know what is...lol. I actually have a pretty good sized one anyway...lol. It is not all about having the cars or anything like that, just like in high school.
