I wish I was 19

Post Reply New Topic

Don't feel too bad. I went back into education at a fairly late age-I'm still in eductaion at 23. I don't feel too bad though. If I had started university at 18 I wouldn't have coped. I was too sheltered and I wouldn't have coped with all the responsibilty and pressure. I'm doing fine now that I have more life experience

Be cool, you'll do just fine.

I'm going to be 30 when I get my Bachelor's Degree. Everyone gets it at a different time. I felt like it was best for me to slow things down, so I can understand the material better.

The reason I took so long is because I let emotions get the better of me, and I took a lot of classes over again. It was pathetic. If I kicked myself into gear it would've gone a helluva lot faster.

At least for us, we know that time has made us more wise and less ignorant.

Which would help us in our future decisions>.<

I'm 22 and I feel so OLD! You know what? A couple of days ago I was wishing I was 19 too. I still felt young when I was 19. Now I'm not 20, not 21, but 22... this is getting ridiculous... I need to get more of a life. Well, I think I can get one... I have a plan. YOUTUBE is my plan. Making tons and tons of videos, blowing off that manic steam and making friends in the process, friends I want to meet.

Everybody wants to be young, myself included. I feel like my aspergers and some other life situations robbed me of having a childhood, being frivolous, dating around, but this intense desire for us to be young, and subsequent shunning of oldness isn't really a good thing. Most of us forget that for most people high school is hell. Our desire to be young, keep in my mind I am young I'm talking about youth as a sort of nostolgic idea, causes too much stress. This theme is examined quite heavily by the graphic novelist Chris Whare.

If I wish to be younger, I'd say I wish I could be 15 or 16 so I can have a chance to stand up for myself when I was a passive pushover.

I wish I was 19 too.

I wish I could be 21 again(hey, I could at least drink legally). Could fit in back at college and have people who are relatively closer to my level of social experience. I'd be nice to start over again and go to a proper college or university rather than waste several years at a community college for a non-degree like I did. I didn't push myself enough to go to a proper school; didn't like the competition to get in and worried too much about how to pay for it(still boggles the mind to me of how most people can afford proper schools in the USA).

What really bugs me though, is that I know I couldn't have handled serious university and it's social life when i was that age. I didn't know what was wrong with me then and it's likely I would have been miserable and failed anyway. Yet now that i have better understanding of my issues and could probably fare better, I have to get on with my life and support myself. The generation gap between myself and the college crowd is too great now for me to fit in. I don't have the time or money for university now.

Sorry to have to deal with something like IC. I can understand how frustrating and panicky it must make you. I sometimes suffer from IBS and have to go hunting for bathrooms at inopportune times. Not the most pleasant of subjects to explain to people.

I wish there was such a thing as time travel.

I'd go to the hospital where I was born, and fling my newborn self out the window hopefully 60ft on to concrete where I'd die.

Ok, I didn't mean that, I'm just pissed off and upset.
