So, it was my birthday last Friday and while counting down the days I noticed something.
The age 19 is a really awkward year. It's the first year where nothing exciting really happens. Up until your 10, every birthday counts. 7 is a lot more mature than 6, a 6 month old baby is different than an 11 month. Then, you start to really go to school..or at least not elementary anymore (middle school was still baaad). You hit 12, the final year before a teenager and them BAM you're 13 and on top of the world (or at least you think so).
Then you go through the teenage years. 14, you're really a teenager now. 15, you have one more year until 16, which is when you can drive. 17 is a stepping stone into adulthood, or something like that, and you can legally see rated-R movies!!! And then 18, where the USA government sees that you are an adult. You can do everything now, vote, join military, get a tattoo, go to adult jail. It's great!
Behold age 19. What is new to us? The last year of being a teenager? I was ready for that about 3 years ago... The year before being 20? But being 20 is one of the last exciting birthdays. And there seems to be this huge gap between 19 and 20.
19. It's just another year...nothing really happens. Makes me feel old...
