There's just so much going on in my head just now, it;s hard to make out what's really important. I've been single and back living with the parents for 3 whole weeks now, and for a while this week, I was genuinely feeling happy and looking forward to the rest of this University year, but that started to flounder.
It was boosted again with the news that I'd passed all of my modules from semester 1, and that I have no resits and stuff to do as of yet. Then I've kicked and punched my way into a corner with ignorant people coming at me from all sides in the Nintendo, Xbox and Chat forums, that'll teach me for trying to educate today's teenagers.
I think that's my problem, I'm trying so hard to find my own place in a culture which isn't really geared to suit anyone in particular. There's always something, or someone who will not like what your doing, and be so stupid and intolerant to tell you that, because you don't look, sound or act liek their own group of friends that you're some sort of freak. I've just left my teens behind, and I look at 14, 15 and 16 year olds today with contempt. They're doing all the same stuff I was doing at that age, they're acting the same as I acted at that age and they're all excited about learning to drive, getting to drink legally and basically having a good time.
I thought life would be one long list of laughs, just cruising from one success to another. I don't know where my life is heading, and for the first time ever it scares me. I was looking at some brain development research the other day, which shows the frontal lobes of a teenagers brain is underdeveloped, and doesn't fully mature until late teens, early twenties. This part of the brain is apparently responsible for people's sense of forboding and perspective on life as a whole. Hopefully this is just a developmental stage of my brain, and I can get back on track with my hopes, dreams and ambitions.
I want to be an arrogent teenager again who doesn't have the mental capacity to care about the future too much.

I wish.
Either my brain's developed early, or I'm gonna be real depressed when I get older. {:)

Think that probably sums it up pretty well :^)

Enjoy your time at university.
I found it to be the best time of my life so far.
I really miss it. Don't waste that time.
There is loads of time for soul searching after.

Cool, then I'm not going mad, the world is quite simple, what you see, is exactly what you get. How you enjoy it is simply what you make of it, I think it's time to forget about teenagers and trying to persuade them that they don't know it all, they'll feel like this in a few years time too!
:D
:D
Did you see that on This Morning too?
Or was that just me? I though Dr Raj slightly exaggerated the degree of lack of foresight and stuff in teenagers.
Then again, maybe my own tiny mind hasn't yet developed to Raj-like supremacy yet.
And I think you probably got most of that stick in the ninty forum pretty unfairly, but I'd guess it was based on short tempers and a misunderstanding more than anything else...
And if you're referring to the comedown of getting to that place that looked so great at 17, and seeing the grass isn't quite so green, yeah, I hope it passes too...
