20 in 20

Today, I have officially been alive for 2 decades. Yep, today is my 20th birthday.

I know I'll probably get a lot of crap for saying this...but I feel OLD.

I know, I know...20 is not old. I am aware of this. But I can't help feeling old. I really can't get away with calling myself a kid anymore, even though there are times when I still feel like I'm 5. Next year I'm going to be living in my first apartment. I'm sending out resumes and cover letters for summer internships. And I'm only 2 1/2 years away from being thrown into the real world.

Plus, next year I turn 21. That's gonna be a real good time, if you catch my drift there :)

Since I've hit kind of a milestone age, I thought I'd make a "20 in 20" list, consisting of 20 things I would like to accomplish during my 20th year of life. I'll put this list on its own tab up there^^ and keep it updated throughout the year.
