growing up
I hear so many people talking about how worried they are about growing up. About college, about jobs... and I have been that person, I'll admit it. But the important thing to keep in mind is you're not just anyone growing up- you're you, and it's YOU who is, for the most part, in control of your life. Life is not a spectator sport, though you can play it that way. Though the tides of the ocean you're sailing on may be chaotic, it's you at the wheel.
I think part of it is that people worry that they'll change, that others will influence them into stopping being themselves. It's true that people do influence you, that you turn out a little bit more like the people you spend the most time with. All the more reason to watch out for who you hang out with. Try to hang out with the people like the person you want to be.
Maybe to some of you guys, this will seem like a no-brainer, but it took me a long time to figure this out.
