When I first started college, I felt as if I were being shoved into the life of an adult. To be completely honest, I was NOT prepared for that in any way. Being an only child, I have always had my folks with me…pretty much with anything I ever did. In highschool, they were always at my sporting events, took me to my doctor appointments, and always made the arrangements for whatever I needed…including enrolling in college. Now, I’m on the verge of turning 20…AND needless to say, I still get a nervous feeling when I have to make my own dentist appointments. I’M NOT READY FOR THAT!! Instead of watching  Family Guy marathons, I am forced to do all the stuff that I really could care less about. THat sounds so pathetic, but I have become the laziest individual I’ve ever come across. It’s not that I don’t want to be independant, because I do—but perhaps in a few more years. It’s like adults expect you to automatically become responsible as soon as you hit 18…and NEWSFLASH–it’s doesn’t work that way. I have no motivation whatsoever, and have ultimately become a waste of space. Haa, but it’s not like I do poorly in my classes…I just do the bare minimum to get a B…okay or maybe a C. Someday, I will be the “adult” I am meant to be, but in the meantime I’ll just focus on eating week-old pizza, and watching an embarassing amount of televison.
