So I have decided to continue being 20



Some of you may know, despite my denial and effort to disguise the fact that, I have just turned 21, On the 8th of January, I became an adult, yikes, an adult! So what doe this mean for me now? Do I have to make a five year plan, start planning for the future? Start saving for a mortgage?! All the adulty things that adult's do.

I can be childish at times (OK most of the time), and I like to mess about, I spent my birthday at the zoo, playing games with the penguins and making stupid noises to the lions, I loved it! But do we have to act responsible once we turn 21? Do I have to stop jumping on my bed? Stop singing into my hairbrush? Stop wearing the geek glasses that I adore so much?! Do we have to change our behaviour, act more responsible?

I find myself asking all these questions, going into panic mode, over and over again just thinking... Do I have to dress differently? I can't even bare to imagine life with out all my headbands! Do I have to drink in moderation on a night out? Not that I get wasted on a night out now anyway, but I want to be able to let my hair down, ask a random police man if I can wear his hat, and still be able to walk to the taxi with a pizza in one hand and my shoes in the other, without being looked at in disgust. Do I have to find my own answers? When I'm in a crisis I just look to my mum for answers, is it time now were I have to take the reigns and find my own way?!

All these questions, and no answers, I'm not ready to be an adult, so clearly! So, one last question, do I have to grow up? And my answer, Nope! I don't know what anyone else opinion is on the matter of turning 21, if they grew up or not, whether or not they made a five year plan, but this year for me is to have fun, truelly enjoy bing young, before I have to look into being (God forbid) an adult! So here is my one year plan (thats about as much planning I intend to be doing, because lets face it, how many plans actually work out anyway!)....

- A girls holiday, drink to my hearts content, take pictures I would never dream of showing my mum, wake up on the beach and try laughing gas (honestly don't know what it is, but it's meant to be a laugh, obv!)
- Go to a festival, haven't decided just yet which one, but all that matters is that I will have my wellies and shorts, my tent that would have most probably taken 3 hours to put up, my supply of alcohol, shots galore! And not forgetting my camera, because let's face it, your not going to remember the whole of the weekend!
- Most importantly carry on wearing my geek glasses, jumping on my bed and singing in my hairbrush!

I will probably have the same crisis when I'm 22, but hey, I have a year to come to terms with that, so until then, fun fun fun :) Crisis diverted for now! Maybe turning 21 won't be so bad after all...

Happy Birthday to me indeed!
