20 Years. Damn.

So, someone turned Twenty yesterday. it's a feat, right? i mean, come on, where I'm from people don't see 20. Most people can say that they don't feel any older when they hit that next year. However, I've been hit with more bricks than construction workers lay. Just saying "I'm twenty years old" is a big deal to me. i feel older, damnit. I feel like a new weight is on my shoulders. a bunch of thoughts raced in my head, inspired by my peers. I need to get my license. I need my own place. I need to get out of college. I've also assembled a list of things to do before 25(which i am sure most people do anyway). and it's a pretty long fucking list. I may divulge this information later. Or not. Being 20 now just got me thinking of how two decades have passed and before two more pass I'd wanna have some stability. 
Today I went through my usual Wednesday routine of waking up around noon-ish, surfing viral videos until my roommate came back from class and then grabbing a bite at the dining hall. I'd really love to change that and actually get up before 9 A.M like the rest of the world. Then, after grueling schoolwork(and a couple of episodes of The Office), i went to a Job fair with my suite mates. It was horrible. none of the jobs applied to me whatsoever, and that's no exaggeration. Strictly retail. Or military. Needless to say, the highlight of my day was the pizza and wings in Mackin Hall. Scrumptious. 
Later in the night, I was talking to my lovely mother about being twenty and how surreal it felt. My mother broke through to me when she said it's a new level of understanding. I took that to heart because i feel responsible for myself more than ever, and in order to be something, I'd have to be able to look at things differently. Life is about experience, and no one gets any wasting away in front of a T.V. or catching up with Britney's or Paris' or Lindsey's newest trial(I shouldn't even know these people's names). 
In conclusion, I have a lot of sleep to get tonight, For I am going to be a part of the Today Show and may even get to talk to Al Roker himself. Me being a broadcasting nerd, this is a special occasion/networking opportunity. So see if you catch me tomorrow morning on one of my favorite channels.

Peace Out.
