I'm no longer a teenager...

Yay! My birthday was yesterday, and aside from the fake happy birthday wishes that people send only because facebook reminds them my day was good. Now I didn't do anything crazy for my 20th birthday in fact it was quite chill. I went to go see the wind symphony to support one of my friends and a quiet dinner with Sara.


However, nothing felt out of the norm. Yes, going to a concert isn't an everyday thing but I didn't feel any different. I didn't do anything crazy because after all I will save that for next year when I'm 21, but the day didn't feel special. Perhaps 20 isn't as significant of an age as other age milestones in our culture today.


I still feel my 19 year old self. I know I'm not supposed to automatically change just because I'm a year older, but it seems that my birthday this year lacked a certain feeling that my other 19 had. May it be because I realize I'm getting older, or that time is passing fast and that next year I'll be a junior.


Whatever it is, I haven't figured out why I have this bothersome feeling.


However, I did love my birthday and a smile never left my face. Although the impending finals coming up soon may have a little to do with the nagging feeling in the back of my head. Oh to be a college student.


Perhaps it won't hit me until next week when I have finals out of the way.
