I think I’m at the point in my life where people expect me to act like an adult. I can do it for the most part, but sometimes I slip up. Being somewhat new to the adult club I catch myself wishing I could go back to the easy part of my life — the elementary and middle school days, when the most difficult thing I experienced was being told I had to turn my television off and go to bed. I didn’t appreciate how good I had it until it was too late. My friends and I have been talking about how much we miss our childhood lately and here are just a few of the things we miss most about those “glory days.”
