Shut Up, I'm Peter Pan (The Not-Perks of Being A Soon-to-Be Grown-Up) - Comments

It wasn't bad. If I could go back I probably wouldn't have done college at all, just started missionary work at eighteen and stuff like that. But it was okay. Not too difficult and I made good friends. I changed my major first semester of senior year from English teaching to just English, which was a good decision. I just find college classes and learning and homework and all that... it isn't my thing, really.

@ breezes.
i actually love college, both the learning and the people i'm to be a sophomore now, and i simply find it... difficult, i suppose? like, it's still all too big for me to grasp yet, how it can shake my worldviews and all that. may i ask how your experience was like?

@ mercury.
Don't worry, college isn't so bad. If I can do it, you can do it. I hate school, absolutely despise it, and I made it through all four years all right.

@ breezes.
that indeed is awesome. i do wish to have an outlook as positive as yours in the near future. weird thing is i feel it in a crazy party vomity way right now haha. it was only when i began college that i realized how laidback and pampered i truly was. anyway, thanks a lot, and good luck on your journeys!

Don't worry. Growing up is scary, but it's also really exciting. You get to do whatever you want to do. I don't mean in the crazy party way, I mean in the deciding what to do with your life way. That's a huge decision, but it's also awesome.

You want to be a doctor? No one can stop you. You want to travel the world and help people? No one can stop you! Wanna write all the time? Do it! You get to be whatever you want, as long as you're willing to work for it.

I'm 22 and recently graduated college. The real world is literally right in front of me and that's terrifying, but it's also amazingly thrilling. I'm going to work average jobs, maybe in customer service or something, for three years, and then I'm off to China for missionary work.

And that's awesome. I'm stoked, and you should be, too!
