Being at this age is very interesting. I meet all kinds of young people in their twenties/early thirties who are at completely different stages of life - unlike in high school or in college where everyone around you is at the same place as you are - single, trying to finish school, etc. But now, I have friends who already have 2 kids and they have gone through so much more of life even though they are younger than me. Then there are those who are older than me but are still single. Some of them (both younger and older) have no clue on even how to interact with the opposite sex. There are those who are super successful in their career and then those who are still finishing school. There are those are mature, generous, nurturing to others and then those who are selfish and incredibly immature. It's even more weird to think that when my mom was at my age, I was already 2 years old. Wow. Weird. And now half of my close friends are pregnant or already have kids. CRAZY!! But not really, considering I'm freakin' 29 years old and turning 30 soon in a month. But wasn't it not too long ago that I was 13?

i totally hear ya!
Totally know what you mean! I'm one of the younger married women amongst my friends but sometimes I still feel like I'm 18 and playing house, hahaha :P I don't know if adulthood will really hit me until I start having kids. Woah, crazy!
Scary. I wanna stay 20 forever... or at least 21.
almost 30...
yeah, when WILL adulthood really hit? i thought graduating from college or going to grad school or being in your chosen profession... surely getting married...having a baby...still waiting... maybe buy a house and you'll feel it. :) all those shows where people are buying their first house seem to show that then is when they feel like real grown-ups, with those scary mortgages...
interesting observations! haha, i'm one of those people still stuck in school (or almost finishing school). but yes, plenty of my peers are married and have kiddos too
