I know I'm not old and I know I'm going into a great time of my life (Sometimes it feels like anything would be better than high school), but it's just weird not being a "kid" anymore.

It's like, my whole life I was kind of just given free reign to do whatever, and if I started worrying about something, someone would step in and say "Oh, don't worry about that. You're a kid, go have fun." Now, it's like I have to get a job and do well in school so I can go to college and stuff. Everything went from "Do whatever" to "Plan the rest of your life" so fast. I have to figure out taxes and savings and all of that good stuff. Sometimes I wish I was like 10 again, because everything was taken care of for me.

But, at the same time, I can't wait until my 20's.
