I'm quickly learning how to be independent. I am teaching myself everything about budgeting, the working world, the schooling world, changes in social life, etc, etc, etc. Things are most certainly different outside of that high school mind-set. Quite frankly, I love it. This kind of life/way of thinking is what I was eager for. Despite the fact that I still haven't graduated, I feel pretty set within myself for the future. Having two parents that live a good distance from me (one of which I do see often enough however) has helped me more than anything else to learn how to be an adult. I still make an abundance of mistakes, but I've come to realize that no matter how old I get and how successful I become, that will never change.
On that note, I have developed a theory that adulthood depends on age in no way. Adulthood is a result of how your mind works. If you think childishly, and you are 47, you are still a child. If you think maturely, and you are 15 you are an adult. Though the law says 18, an 18-year-old isn't necessarily all grown up. If they cannot behave in the way the law expects them to at that age, then they are still a child. What is on the outside, and what society says about adulthood cannot determine whether or not someone has actually reached it.
