Signs of Aging ( growing up )

To not let my very dead blog die any further, I came up with something silly to blog about - Signs of Aging or growing up, or growing even more older for some of you guys =P

Aging is not entirely a bad thing, I hear people saying some weird things on their birthdays they go " omg, I'm so not happy today although its my bday because I'm just another year older.... " I personally don't look at it that way. What's the problem of getting older? My personal point of view is that some people are afraid of getting older only because they're worried about not having enough time or not being able to do things they want or like anymore. So, the way to solve this problem is to live your everyday like it is your last, make full use of your time so that during your birthday, you can look back and have no regrets =)

I figured, some of the signs of aging.. for me ( a 21 year old guy ) are :
- having more things to deal with (e.g studies..... personal issues.. Uni.. insurance.. accommodation... time management.. money management...)
- more responsibilities to bare
- when you start having a little thoughts about future plannings regarding career or family?
- spotting more grey hair while looking at the mirror
- looking at basically everything with a whole new perspective, NORMALLY/HOPEFULLY with a more mature point of view.
- worried about not being able to earn enough for a living in the future.
- having visions of how my future family will be, where my work place will be, what I want to succeed in my career etc..
- basically alot more of the what,when, where, who and how.....


I felt a great change in me in such a short period of time.
Over here, it is obvious that I have alot more responsibilities to bare because I have to do the simplest thing in life here. Back home, I never had to worry about my laundry, groceries, cleaning up the toilet etc.. It was a very 'healthy' challenge, to accomplish enormous workloads and assignments in Uni and at the same time dealing with all these shits in daily life. Looking for a car was a hassel, and things like calling agents to have a look at studios... place to stay next semester. Dealing with car dealers, insurance company... financial issues...

I started dealing with problems with a very different approach too. Back then, I used to give up very easily. Not being positive minded and always thinking that I will never succeed. But now, I told myself to at least have a go... give in my best and see how it goes... Through these experiences I gained confidence.. knowing that I can accomplish many things as long as I give it a try.

There's a whole lot more stuffs I would wanna talk about myself.. but I just did a lot of course readings and an essay so I'm kinda bored laying my fingers on the keyboard now...

These coming 2 weeks are going to be really bad.... shitty...
assignments due.. essays due... performance next week... presentation next week.... ugh...
but i'll stay STRONG!!!
