The Real World

College.  I feel like it is coming up way too soon.  Yes, I am graduating a year early and maybe that's why it seems like it is going so quickly, but I mean, I am 16.  Usually 16 year olds are like, "high school is taking so long, I feel like it's going on forever."  The thing is, I don't feel that way.  I don't even feel like I am 16.  It's all so... surreal.  I am driving by myself, hanging out with friends without needing someone to drive me; I have all of the freedoms of a 16 year old, but why is it that I still feel like a kid?  Everyone tells me that I am growing up, and I am not a child anymore, but what if I want to be?  Can't I just say that I am?  No, I guess not.  Am I really ready for all of this grown up stuff?  Am I ready to go to college and go into the real world?  Or am I just too comfortable at home and not ready for the reality of life?

All questions that I have been asking myself today... All the things that I have been thinking about.  How do you know when you are ready to go into the real world?  Are you ever really ready?  How do you deal with it?  If anyone out there could help me, that would be great!!
