A conversation with a friend yesterday reminded me that this time in my life is precious, important and I can get away with things that I'll never be able to at any other time in my life...
Things I can Do At 21 (and not feel guilty about)...
Stay up all night.
Spend more then save.
Hang out with friends all the time.
Break up and get back together (then repeat).
Nice hairdo needed? Just pull it back.
Spring break vacation.
Drink often and on weekdays.
Use drugs and not be considered a druggy.
Ditch school for the day.
Have fun with eyeliner.
Flirt.
Wear clothing that are more experimental then appropriate.
Things I do now but that can wait until I'm 45...
Work ridiculously hard.
Wear loafers all the time.
Buy yet another plain cardigan.
Buy sheets (Almost time for flannel, people).
Worry about everyone.
Spend too much time "scheduling"
Wear neutral makeup.
Eat healthy constantly.
Be generally stressed out.
So, here's my resolution, to try to embrace column A while, slowing down on column B, cause I have pretty much the rest of my life for column B....
Oh, I have to go, I'm throwing a dinner party tonight and need to look up some recipes (shit, already falling back to column B).

Eesh.
B doesn't sound so great and it's definitely MY column.
I can barely wait for flannel sheet time.
please don't buy anymore sheets- we barely have space in the hallway closet for all the ones you bought and aren't using. Plus, our apartment isn't cold- a comforter and regular sheets will suffice
I'm going to have to disagree with one part of column A. You are 21- do your hair nice, don't just pull it back, you can do that when you're 45.
uf... 22 here and finding myself more and more in column B. thanks for the reminder that I am allowed to be a little irresponsible sometimes!
