being a grown-up
when you're 19, 20, and 21, it's easy to think of yourself as old. You're older than everyone you've hung out with in your entire life. But at 21 and a half, and 22, friends over 25 start to be everywhere. Not so much novelties anymore.
I was talking to girls in my office the other day, describing something in terms of 'deliciousness' and waving my spoon around. "you're so cute, with your baby face. how old are you?"
re: first paragraph, it's kind of ridiculous when I think "guys, I'm a grown-up, I'm 22!"
side note, I used to ask people, "how grown up are you?" I mostly forget about age most of the time now (or maybe it's semi-conscious denial of my own lack of it)
