Growing up has made me realize that life is a conundrum or an enigma (whichever you prefer). It's true that life flies by, because it feels like yesterday I was sitting in my eighth grade Science class with braces and munching on gummie bears. My biggest worries were  if my friends and I would be put in the same group and if my crush liked me. I'm now a senior and college applications have become my reality. Worrying about whether or not my GPA and my "extra-curriculars" are good enough was never on my agenda until this year. I reminisce about my earlier years and wonder where all that time went, but yet I keep wishing that I already had my college degree and are working in my chosen profession. My mother, being the wise women she is, said, "Don't wish you're life away." Then it hit me like a big ol' bag of bricks that that is where all my time has gone. I've been so worried about growing up and being an adult that I've completely disregarded my present. Lemme tell you kids that college applications, having a job, and putting gas in your car is not all it's cracked up to be. It's just... S.T.R.E.S.S.F.U.L. Don't rush growing up, because growing up means you have to deal with adult responsibilities that leave you in a perpetually stressed out mood. My senior year is flying by and my restlessness is eating at me. I'm ready to get out there in the real world, but then I realize that I don't even know SENIOR SUPERLATIVES. Seniors are supposed to be so excited for those, but I don't even know who won what. I didn't even know we were supposed to order caps and gowns until the day before the order forms were due. I can't even wear my senior class ring. This is all thanks to my CNA class teacher, because we're off campus during these "important" announcements and we're not allowed to wear rings. All the excitement of being a senior has been overlooked. It's quite sad. There's a quote that says... well I can't find the quote at the moment. However, it says that people spend half their lives wishing for time to move faster, and the other having wishing it would slow down. That is quite a true statement. So I've decided that the gigantic clock of life should stop being so wonky and just go a normal pace.

My rant is finished, so please enjoy this insanely adorable/funny/gross video about babies being babies.
