Talking Mango: Blog

I’m turning 20 in 77 days. That’s a little more than 2 months and I am not ready to let go of my teen years! I feel like turning 20 is as awkward as turning 19. When you turned 18, you were finally granted the privilege of going to R-rated movies, clubbing, buying cigarettes and lottery tickets. When you turn 19, nothing really changed… and by the time you turn 20, you’re pretty much take everything you got when you turned 18 for granted. The only thing to look forward to is to turn 21, which is a year away, because you’ll be finally granted the privilege to drink and not get in trouble with the law (beside drinking and driving!).

Another big thing is that I’m not longer going to be a teen. I feel like I’m going to have to start using anti-wrinkle cream and cover up. I found 3 new white hairs just last week. White hair runs early in my family but this is really tragic. It’s okay, this gives me a good excuse to change my hair color.

Is there anything I should do before I turn into a “young adult”? I’m not interested into buying tobacco, appearing in any sexual films, or getting any tattoos. I do wish to go skinny dipping… Don’t judge! I want to be able to look back someday and say I was a wild child and teenager and did some crazy stuff. Of course, nothing illegal or immoral!
