Why did no one warn me about how weird it is to turn 19. It's just this gap in your life. You can choose to further your education, get a job, or just experience life. Except all of that comes at a price. Student debt, 100 years of experience, money. Some 18 year old's have all of this, some don't. I don't. I have the misfortune of having grown up under difficult circumstances and deciding to move across the continent to try and escape that. Which I did. But now I've made being 19 so much more difficult. I'm in a place where I don't know the areas, I don't have friends, I don't have connections. Experiencing life is a chance. Being 18 going on 19 will be the easiest and most difficult thing I've ever done. There's so much time left for me to grow and experience, but time is also running out. And I'm stuck feeling like the decisions I make in the next 3 months, will affect my entire life. Maybe turning 20 will be easier. Probably not.
