((Sigh...))

I can't wait until I'm done with school.   I know that it is bad for me to say that because I'm only a freshman, but I still feel like my life has yet to start.  I have established who I am, I have established what I love, and I have established who I love.  Now, it is time to apply it all.  When my school doesn't let me live on my own until I'm 21, I feel like a child.  The fact that I have to be in my room by 12 am on weeknights and 1 am on weekends makes me feel like i'm 16 again.  (I didn't have a curfew after I was 16 because I'm a responsible person.)  If I'm worrying about grades in classes that mean nothing to me, that's just adding on extra stress that I don't need.  The best thing I can do to prove to myself that I'm an adult right now is pay for my car.  Some of my teachers tell me that I should quit the job so I can spend more time worrying about homework and things like that.  Maybe if I can be curfew-less and live in my own apartment I'll look into cutting back some of my responsibilities.  I'm not saying that school isn't a responsibility.   I have so much more potential for great things in me than just... school.  I want to be who I am, who I'll become one day.  (But not right now because I'm in school...)
