Wasn't asking you but glad to know your intentions 
i know, it was my guess

Well, what were you planning on doing?

arson probably
Although, in my defence, I rarely plan, it just happens.

It's a square number, I won't be another square number for 9 more years
Having to think about uni whilst getting into the swing of A levels (and PROCRASTINATING because you can't be bothered) + the adult fare train tickets

Pros:
-I'm viewed as an adult and taken more seriously
-Over some teenage insecurities/ more stable as a person
-Legitimately able to take care of my own life
Cons:
-Realisation: F*ck I'm getting old
-I don't have the "she's still a teen" excuse whenever I f*ck up
-I HAVE to take care of my own life and act like an adult which is sometimes exhausting (both a blessing and a curse)

+ = Can drink and generally not ID'd in the usual pubs and clubs
- = Finish Uni within the next couple years and then need be an actual adult.

You at the age where you watch 18 rated films/videos online or think of buying age restricted products and think 'heh 18+ sure i am' and then you realise. You are.

I'm sure some people did that before they were 18

+ I can legally do pretty much anything, which is cracking of course
- I am a student and as such cannot really afford to do anything.

Computer Science. I'm in first year at Leicester.
Lol, I lost the appetite for a motorbike after crashing into a car and going over the handlebars so I'll be on 4 wheels if I ever do get back on the road. It's unlikely though.

Oh wow I did Computer Science at uni too! How are you finding it?
Sorry to hear that man. I'm terrified of motorbikes tbh, I would never drive one myself...
im at the age where half my friends are getting into serious relationships or are engaged and the other half going out and getting smashed

Yeah I'm enjoying it for the most part. Looking forward to getting back at it next week.

Cheers man. In hindsight it was a good thing really as I got up and walked away with no injuries and a damn good reality check. At that time I was eventually planning to move up to a superbike that would I would have really ****ed myself up on.

i know, but knowing that youre technically legal at the same time i mean.
20.
+ I feel like a proper adult now. Like when I was 18, 19, sure, yeah adult by law, but to have 'teen' in it was childish still, to me.
+ I can do the **** I want now without my daddy protesting. I can just remind him that he's 50 and make him feel old
- Adulting is a complicated, difficult, interesting experience that had not all been enjoyable for me.
- I look like a 16 year old if I don't wear make-up.
- Having to pay my own way for everything now is sad.

How old are you? What's the best and worst part about being that age? You can write more than one of each if you want.
