My awkward almost-teethy smile :D
Eighteen. Wow! Such a big number. It’s unbelievable how much things have changed since
high school. I’m now halfway through my second semester of college.
Everything’s good so far, Alhamdulillah. I still cannot believe all these
things are finally happening to me. Like, I’ve been talking about college and growing
up since before I got my first period! And going through it is totally far
beyond what I expected. 18 is a scary age to be. It’s the age where you’re
expected to be responsible for your own actions. I feel like I’m still just a
little kid. I’m still trying to find myself and know who I really am and what’s
my role in life. There are still so many things to learn and explore. Just a
few years back, I had this conversation with my friends about growing up and
our future plans and how much we will miss each other when we go study abroad
and go our separate ways and that we will still keep in touch and be close
friends till we grow old. Awwwh I’m gonna tear up anytime now :’) Those things
are actually happening, right now. Things happen so fast that we don’t even quite
realize they are happening. One moment you’re curled up sucking your pacifier
and the next moment, you’re held accountable for what you publish online and for
everything you do. It’s actually kind of a fun experience. Things like this
make us who we are today. Experience taught me to appreciate the little things
in life. Besides experience, my mom has been the best teacher/motivator/BFF in
my life. She would talk to me and give me some really useful and
constructive advice. She has molded me into the person I am today. And I think
she did a splendid job! (Lol I’m not praising myself here FYI :P) Apa-apa pun,
this is just the beginning of my journey into adulthood. Enjoy life, take
chances, be happy, and just go with the flow. Things will eventually fall into
place :)
