Becoming an adult

2015 is literally around the corner, can you believe it? Time is flying by and I feel like I'm just about keeping up with it. It seems like the other day I had just started secondary school and now I'm currently applying to universities. I am practically an adult now, boy that came around quickly. It's funny how day by day you don't seem to notice age creeping up on you and nothing seems to be changing but when you look back, everything is different, you're older, much older. And everything is changing, you're now responsible for your own doctor appointments, you're expected to get a job, pay bills. You are no longer a child, you have to grow up whether you like it or not and this thought has been clouding my  mind as my 18th birthday is now fast approaching. If I'm honest, I thought this day would never come, it's strange I've been a child for 17 years, all my life. I don't know any different and now all of a sudden it's going to change...whether I like it or not.
