Around the Thanksgiving table all of my family discussed the upcoming year and birthdays that will be celebrated. There were many milestones that were mentioned and i couldn't help but think that i will be 19 and nothing special. I mean yes, it is the last year of the 'teen years' but does it authorize me to do anything 'cool'...not so much. At least at 18 i could buy cigarettes that i.. don't smoke, porn that i.. don't watch, and be considered an 'adult' but 19 is so in-between. It kind of marks the stage of life all of us 19-year olds are in..figuring out who we are and finding where we want to go in life, which most of us have no idea. Even at the age of 20 you can somewhat gloat about not being a little teenager anymore, even though some us act like we are still in grammar school. If i had it my way i would still be at recess, playing kickball, boys against girls, and my days consisted of roller blading in my driveway, but life got a tad bit more complicated than that. I mean a show that embodies every aspect of a good ol' childhood would be 'The Wonder Years'. Kevin Arnold falls in love with the girl in his neighborhood and times were so simple with riding bikes and being adventurous. I doubt i am the only almost 19-year- old that contemplates these lost years of simple fun or maybe they've just happened and i am expected to reflect upon them. All in all, the way 19 should be looked at is the last year to do some childish things while still being considered a 'teen' and live it up. I mean some people would consider these young years of our lives 'the wonder years' so we should make some memories while we're at it.
