I’ll only be in New York City once and I don’t know what the future holds for me, and with that I constantly feel an urge to not miss out on the experiences I can have.
I constantly hear people talking about how college were the best years of their life and how once they get into the working life, they could never enjoy life as much or be able to have the same lifestyle where they could get drunk or high, make mistakes, try new things, travel and I don’t want to miss out on these things only because a number attached to my name tells me to do so.
I’ve come this far just as anyone else and have to navigate through life just like everyone else in their last year of university.
I stopped looking and acting like a 19 year old years ago. When people meet me without knowing my age, they assume I’m 23 or 24 because that’s how I’ve now shaped myself. My fake ID states I'm turning 25 this year because I got it when I was in 12th grade, but no one has once questioned that number on my face.
I’m constantly surrounded by people who are 21 and older because it’s theoretically impractical for me to not be close to people who are going through the same transition phase that I am from being a student to getting out in the real world.
