It’s definitely a hard cycle to break. I’m graduating soon and it terrifies me - not because of adult responsibilities, but because I’ll likely never have the opportunities from school again. Sure, maybe college will not be “the best years of my life,” but it’s still a significant chunk of my life. I don’t want to begin living when I have to be worried about so many things. I have to start now, and if I fail, then hopefully I’ll be able to bring what I learn and experienced to form something better afterwards. I already hate being behind everyone socially, so I definitely don’t want to wait until I’m a full fledged adult and still mess up basic shit.
