I feel like my life is slipping away too soon, and I know what you're thinking- I'm only 19, what am I talking about? I barely began my life- but that's not what it feels like. I'm going to be graduating soon and will be working full-time jobs in less than a year's time. I often look at my roommates, they're 21 and 22 and are still in their junior year because they took time off or deferred but I never did that. I still feel like a 19 year old when it comes to having to balance my work and studies. I still feel like I am not ready to go out into the "real world" and start talking to people who may be decades older than me. The chances of me coming across anyone in the workplace below 21 seems far too little and every once in a while when I hear people talking about things like getting drinks with their colleagues, it makes me realize that for the first few months of working, I would never be able to do that without an explanation of why I still can not carry my passport or ID at bars or clubs.
