XKCD, When Are You Not Timely And Apt?
Jul. 29th, 2009 01:48 am
I can't believe I'm going to be twenty in three days. What the hell? I'm a legal adult, I'm allowed to vote in presidential elections, and I attend one of the most prestigious universities in the country. I also get into poking wars with my friends, sing along in the car to songs about zombies, own Pirates of the Caribbean pajama pants, and spent half my afternoon making my comic book action figures make out. Sometimes when I'm doing theoretically grown-up stuff, like grocery shopping or going to the bank, I feel like I'm holding my breath, waiting for everyone to realize I'm just faking it - I'm not really responsible, I'm not really mature, I'm not really a grown-up.
I'm starting to think it's always going to feel this way. Maybe getting older just makes you better at pretending.
