19 Thoughts You Have About Being 19 Years Old
Emily Jung

19 may not be as much as a big deal as ages 13, 16, 18, or 21. Some people just don't make age 19 as much as a huge deal as of any other age.

Every year of your life counts.

Here are 19 thoughts you have about being 19 years old:

1. "It's my last year of being a teenager!"

It's crazy how the teen years are shorter than a typical decade. You're a teenager for seven years and each decade for ten years.

2. "2nd year of adulthood"

You're an adult at 18, so 19 years old means it's your 2nd year of adulthood.

3. "How do I do my taxes?"

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

4. "Have I really graduated from high school a year ago?"

I know, I still can't believe it.

5. "So I was a fetus 20 years ago, huh?"

That should count, right?

6. "Well, two more years till it counts"

And my driver's license will also be horizontal in 2 years.

9. "One more year till I enter a new decade!"

Cheers to that.

10. "Does my resume look solid for a job?"

There are people still older than us and still ask themselves this question.

11. "4.95 for a tall coffee?! No, thanks"

A tall Starbucks coffee costs like 2 or 3 Dunkin Donuts large coffees!

12. "Never too old for Disney movies!"

You're not my friend if you tell us we're too old for Disney or cartoons.

13. "How do I cancel my subscription of adulting?"

The truth is I can't.

14. "How can I fit sleep in my schedule?"

I have to write a paper, read 51 pages of the "Divine Comedy," go to the library and go to a meeting. If I need energy for all of this, how can I sleep?

15. "I have to buy my own toilet paper? Great!"

Following Elaine's advice sounds better.

16. "Am I really out of time with being a teenager?"

Same, Boo.

17. "Am I still a kid or a grown up?"

Good question.

18. "Right, I'm mentally a grown-up, but a kid at heart"

Way to make your work day better!

19. "Have I watched every movie I should watch before I turn 20?"

I'll say most of them to be fair. I still haven't seen "Bring it On."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
