Well, except for that one guy. No. Seriously. That being said, I don’t want you to be so cynical. Remember being vulnerable isn’t something you only do when you are young. Fill your I-Pod up with terrible music so you can one day loudly sing that music when you are 22 and drunk on a rooftop. Stop wearing so many denim skirts they look stupid. Give your best friends more hugs. Realize that many of these friends will go away, and you will soon make new ones who ask ‘so how were you at 18?’ Go to class. Learn shit. Get a job. Do your laundry. Don’t smoke because you can. Be a kid. 18 isn’t that old.
