Going into 22 with about 3 hours away is kind of weird for me. For one, i'm studying for my exams..well i've been doing so for the past 16 years but it's only dawned upon me this year. oh well, never too late =)
Second, it's abit more serious this year. Partly because i am reaching that age where you actually go out and work to support yourself rather than stay at home and be supported by people who actually go out and work to support you and themselves.
Third, ever since coming to perth to study, i feel that everything in life has changed. that's generally and quite frankly speaking, the changes have not stopped. bar physical changes, maybe living alone, out of your security blanket really does force you to grow up, akin to a butterfly's transformation. that and of course i live longer than 2 weeks.
Fourth, there is nothing better than your ability to socialize with other people in helping you stay sane in perth. not that hanging out with the same group of friends is madness but then again, you pay big money to study in a foreign country, so might as well explore the country in detail no? this is especially true considering the transient period we are all in now.
Turning 21 is like a leap from being young into being an adult. Turning 22 makes you realize that turning 21 was just a trial period for adulthood. This time it's real.
