I turn 21 this year (I know, "Gosh, so old!" :-P) but it feels like I blinked and I'm suddenly here. I, by necessity, had to grow up virtually overnight at the ripe old age of sixteen. And now that I actually AM grown up, I don't feel ready for it. I want to be back in 6th grade again. I want to not have to worry about bills or gas for my car or W2s. I want to be able to run around through sprinklers and start pillow fights and bake cookies on my Easy Bake without worrying about caloric consumption.

But I can't.
