WOOT! 21!!

So yeah, I just had my 21st birthday today, on November 24th, 2010. I admit, I kinda have mixed feelings about the idea.
First, there's the nostalgia, where you look back at everything you can remember in the last 21 years of your life and and you remember all the simple pleasures you had when you were younger.
Then there's the disbelief. If you were like me, and you had a fairly rough time in school, chances are you've said to yourself, "I don't think I'll ever survive to be that age." Next thing you know, you're already there.
Another part of it is sort of a 2-for-1 deal. Looking towards the future, I feel a good bit of fear for whatever bad luck might be coming my way in the future, whether it be bankruptcy, injury, illness, relationship problems, or whatever. But on the same token, I do my best to remain optomistic and hope that it won't turn out that bad. Because nothing's so bad that it can't get worse.
So where do I go from here? I guess I have a few things to take care of... Getting a job, paying off college debt, getting the education needed to get an even better job... But for now, I'm still kinda taking it in.
