Day 16: So Long, Childhood.

So today is my final day of being fifteen. I'm trying not to stress. Last year, when I turned fifteen, I had a major mid-life crisis. This year, I am just trying to let it slip by, unnoticed.

But not here, oh no. I feel I have to honour my passing in some way.

So... LET'S GO CRAZY!

... Blog Style.

Ok, I don't know how to put pictures in here or anything... well I probably do... but I'm too tired and lazy to do it now. Hey, I'm a teenager, ok?

There will be a few changes for when I'm 16, like having to pay adult fares (and for someone who uses public transport to get everywhere, this is a big thing), but there are also some benefits. I have been doing research! (*looks proud*)

At 16:
You can have a full time job if you have officially left school.
You can live independently, subject to certain conditions being met.
You can get married with your parents' or guardians' consent.
You can ride a moped of up to 50ccs.
You can pilot a glider.
You can apply for your own passport.
You can have beer or cider whilst eating a meal in a restaurant or an eating area of a pub, but not in the bar.

Many of those won't apply to me... but it's nice to have the option. Today, I would be put in prison for pilotting a glider. But tomorrow... well, tomorrow is a different matter :)

I will also be able to buy a lottery ticket. I will do so tomorrow. It would be great if I won first time... the rest of my family who have been waiting all their lives... mwahahaha!!!

This has helped me feel a bit more positive. I mean, I'm not legally an adult until I'm 18, but it suddenly feels like I'm going to be old. Thing is, I NEVER have to be growed up. And I never will be. I am getting younger and younger in my head everyday, and long may that continue!

I was hoping this would be a much better blog today, but my Blogger keeps messing up, so it isn't. Sorry about that. Anyway, to make up for it, here is today's...

SONG OF THE DAYYY!!!

'Whyyawannabringmedown?' - Kelly Clarkson
cos apart from being a great song, it should win an award for being the longest song title since 'Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'
