Just over a week til I move out.
Oh my god. *hyperventilates*
Its not that I don't want to go to uni, I can't wait to move out of this shithole of a town, dammit and I thrive in new situations. But starting university means I am one step closer to becoming a responsible adult. And that, frankly, scares the shit out of me. This summer (despite the occasional bad bit) has been the best time of my life, and I don't want it to end. I don't want to grow up.

Tell me to MTFU, internets.
And then tell me what age you'd like to be forever. Or the age of the ideal shag.

Don't worry
I went to Uni ten years ago and I'm still not a responsible adult.
(Bazongaloid, Fri 11 Sep 2009, 13:34, Reply)

Lots of this.
I didn't go to uni but I'm 33 and while I might be somewhat responsible, I'm by no means a adult.

Okay, it's not likely that things change for the better or worse, you just get older and shit happens in between
you're about as responsible as you're ever going to get probably

with that said 18 or 19 for the ideal shag
and I quite like being 26, I'll be 27 in a few months *pukes*

By responsibile adult,
I meant having to pay bills and taxes and wear smart clothes to work everyday and stuff like that.

That's going to happen whether I like it or not, surely?

I don't wear smart clothes to work
I'm currently wearing slightly dirty jeans and my favourite brown hoody (as opposed to may favourite green hoody or my favourite red hoody)

you have a favourite hoody? that's too cute
I'm wearing cotton gouchos and a wife beater

I look like a scrub.
But I can't wear smart clothes here.

POIDH, I'm far too responsible to wear a hoodie
but I still wear crappy jeans every day (as a geologist I have to be ready to go into the field at any moment so jeans rule in a world of crappy dockers).

27 is ok
as it can still kind of be classed as mid-twenties. I'm dreading 28 though :-( that just sounds old.

this is when I'm starting to realise that I'm no where near where I wanted to be

it's okay though, I'm sure having a husband and children and career are overrated.

more money
and less living with your parents.
I see this as a huge bonus :-)
admittedly, I was a nervous wreck on my first day at uni, and I hadn't even left home - just went to the local uni! I imagine I'd have absolutely dissolved if I'd have had to move away from home at 17!

After uni you get a job. Then buy stupid things.
Then quit your job and move to Wales.
And spend your days eating leftovers from your housemate's takeaway, and smoking.

I couldn't wait to get out of Liverpool
I went to Sheffield University, freaked out about everything, kept the wastepaper bin near my bed in case I vomited in terror in the night, took to casually vomiting into my sink every day, dropped out, had a great year out, then re-started at Liverpool University the following year. It was ace.
I wouldn't change a thing!!!
Looking back, all of it was just supposed to happen.

I'd like to stay 31 forever and ever.
23 and 26 are the best for shags. They appear to have forgotten how to do it at 28 and 29. And their penises have shrunk.
