Unfortunately, the novelty of these typical teenage shenanigans wore off once I turned 18 and became a “legal” adult who could do any of these EDITORIAL CARTOON things without fear of punishment by the police or my parents. I can’t really understand why being a teenager was so much fun, other than experiencing the thrill of breaking my parents’ rules, get- ting my driver’s license and having virtu- ally no worries besides getting into col- lege (ah, those were the days). But at the same time, I’m having trouble finding anything exciting to look forward to in turning 20. Sure, I’ll be one year closer to celebrat- ing the biggest birthday milestone of my life so far, and I can officially mark the end of my childhood (a bittersweet moment). I can also look forward to cele- brating the big 2-0 with a Cubs game and an Arcade Fire concert over Easter break, both of which I’m pretty jazzed about. But turning 20 is like living in limbo between the worry-free days of adolescence and the daunting responsi- bilities of adulthood. Plus, you don’t get any special privileges when you hit 20. Hence my ambivalence about commemo- rating the first two decades of my life. Honestly, I’m scared to turn 20. When I was younger, I always thought 20 sound- ed old, almost old enough to get married and have kids. Now, on the brink of that ripe old age, all I want is to freeze time. I don’t want to think about applying to medical school soon or living away from my parents in the real world. I also don’t want to consider the fact that my college experience is nearly halfway over. I just want to relive my carefree high school summers again. As I look at the half-empty glass of my life, I realize I have a lot to look forward to after I turn 20. I’ll be spending my first full summer away from home while par- ticipating in an SSLP in Idaho. Best of all, in less than six months, I will be sipping sangria and tasting tapas while studying abroad in Toledo, Spain, and I can cavort around Europe for an entire semester.
