OMGosh Matt! I feel exactly the same way as you and I'm about 5 years older than you.
Sometimes I can't believe that I'm an adult. I wish people didn't see me as an adult 'cause I'm not ready to be an adult.
I don't have any experience with being an adult either. I still live with my parents and sometimes my Mom still cleans my room and stuff. I've also never had any friends. I don't have any adult social experiences either. That is way some things are so difficult for me to understand.
I think growing up can be very exciting. There is lots of anxiety, but try to think of it in terms of excitement instead.
There are so many things for us to experience. Things people take for granted are very new experiences for us. One of my professors told me that now is the time for us to explore the world...when we don't have any commitments yet. I think we should do that...explore the world!
I'm not going to think of settling down yet. I think nowadays lots of people go through several career changes in their lifetime...so maybe you can be an investor, banker and lawyer! People are going to be able to live a long time when you get old!
