old days
Friday, July 6th, 2007 | bother!
as a teenager, I remember complaining a lot about school, about how much work I had and how I hated my classmates. and I also remember how my relatives would tell me, over and over, how much I’d miss those days when I got older.
little over a decade later, I would be lying if I said I don’t miss any of it at all. sure I do miss meeting my friends before class, the mess we used to make in study groups during some project, and – so lovely! – being able to sleep all morning since school didn’t start until 1pm. I miss the friends time left behind, as I miss having the time to see the friends that were allowed to stay.
on the overall, I don’t miss my life as a teenager – high school was hell on earth, after all -, but today it struck me how simple life was back then, and how much I hate to admit my relatives were right in that aspect. because in those days I was simply a student, and while there might have been one or two major school project that would’ve failed without my help, I realise today that there is an entire section in this office that simply will not run without me.
no wonder I’ve been so stressed out lately. responsibility is just way too troublesome.

“And she saw the light.” =P
The only downside I see in being young is not having your own money (and consequently not being able to buy your own things, go where you want to on your own, etc).
But then we grow up, are faced with a whole lot of new disadvantages, and still don’t have nearly enough of our own money to make up for it. Bah. :)
