I'm Officially An Adult!!!

As of Thursday, March 26, 2015, I turned 18 years old, officially making me an adult. And I should use "officially" in quotations, because there are still some things I can't do until I'm in my twenties or so...but hey, I can make those calls on commercials that say "You must be 18 or older to call!" That's awesome! xD And I have to sign some things now that I'm an adult.

You know, I'm kind of excited and nervous about being an adult. Technically I consider teens young adults since they're not kids anymore and are transitioning to adulthood, but now I'm at an age where the law considers me an adult, and, well, adults have responsibilities. I'll be graduating in May or June from high school, and I don't really know what I want to afterwards...it feels weird not being a kid anymore.

But I never want to lose that childhood innocence, the sense of wonder and curiosity with the world that comes with being a child. I want to be mature like an adult but as blissful as a child, if that makes any sense. Now that I'm finally coming out of my anxiety and depression, I'm starting to finally see that all the things I was worried or sad about are just bringing me down and I don't want to live like that anymore. I want to be as happy and stress-free as a kid for the rest of my life.

I didn't know this post was going to turn kind of deep. Truth be told, I was just going to talk about what I did for my birthday xD But hey, I'll be getting to that right now! Because I had a fun birthday, as always, but today was especially fun because, like I said earlier, I'm finally getting mentally healthy again. Between talking, reading inspirational books and taking medications, I think all of that has helped me to feel better and finally enjoy life a little more :)

So anyway, the first thing I got for my birthday was actually a birthday cake, I guess! My grandma came over earlier last week or so, sometime near my younger brother and mother's birthday. It wasn't my birthday at the time, but since so many of us are born in March and since my Meemaw wasn't sure she'd make it on my birthday (she did, though :) she had us all eat from the cookie cake. And it was delicious! Too bad I don't have a picture...we ate it all xD

What I got on my "official" birthday was a bluetooth from my mom! I mentioned how earbuds were cheaper before, I think, even with the more expensive and better kind they still didn't last very long and I got tired of having to buy more. The bluetooth did cost more but I think it's supposed to be sturdier, not to mention more portable since I don't have to deal with the cord. The volume's great on it too, which rocks because I like my music loud xD I love it.

Next, my mom and grandma took me wig shopping!!! My mom had gotten a wig for her birthday and I fell in love with it, not to mention the idea of getting a super cute wig hairstyle without the hassle of messing around with my own hair. The first one I got is in the picture above, and the one on the bottom is the second one - it's my favorite so far, though I love both of them :D

Afterwards, we went to a local seafood restaurant for dinner!!! I remember eating there awhile ago and loving the food, and gosh, it was SO good! The appetizers of hush puppies were so delicious and I ate so many that I got full on my food earlier! I ordered some shrimp because they have the best fried shrimp! And I know they aren't seafood but they had DELICIOUS french fires, but do I need to say "delicious" because all fries are good!

And after that we went to Krispy Kreme for dessert, because we were passing by it and my dad and older brother wanted some :) But it was for me, too, because I LOVE their donuts! I just was SO full from the food that I didn't eat it until later that night. But I ate it, 'cause it was Krispy Kreme donuts and they're the best donuts ever!

So that was my birthday in a nutshell. I really enjoyed it, like I said earlier :) I had a lot of fun that day and I'm still rocking my wigs - I LOVE them so much ;) I really appreciate everything my family did for me that day and all the birthday wishes I received from friends that day. Like always, it was a great birthday :D
