Glad we could help! <333 I definitely feel more like an adult now. I just turned 18 less than a month ago, which is when you are a legal adult, but I didn't really feel it until I got to college. Especially since I'm 7 hrs away from my parents, I'm really on my own. XD Though I do miss high school, and being a teenager and having less responsibility. :P
I know, right? I just turned 19 less than a week ago, and it's all really hitting me. I mean, when I was 18, I felt that connection to being 17, since I never feel my age until a year too late. But now I really am an adult, and college shows it more. I'm still weirded out by not having to have a parent sign my papers like high school had us do, even if we were 18. ;) Hope you're having fun!
I remember how that was when I graduated and moved out and had no one to ask for permission, or to account to, on my own time. It took a while for the head-wrenching-ness of it to settle down. =) Now that my kids are all going through that too, it helps that I do remember how unsettling it was! Nice, good, but still unsettling.
I'm glad you're feeling better about your decision. Knowing that you made the right choice and *feeling* that you unquestioningly made the right choice are vastly different things. Glad to be able to be a voice offering support and reassurance. =)
Again, thank you for being a great help with this :). It does help to hear others' experiences on this, since so many are different, that it's hard to relate to any of them. It's still hard for me, though I'm managing. :)
