As a younger kid, I had many ideas about what my teenage life would be like. I accomplished like, none of those goals. Yet, also, at the same time I have accomplished them. Just, in a different way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>goal number one: go to parties<\/p>\n<p>Now, I have never been to an average teenage party. Yes, i&#8217;ve been invited to them. I&#8217;m just too lazy and too tired to stay up that late. It&#8217;s not worth it. However, I have reached full party status by playing bingo with a few classmates. To enhance my partying ability, I, alongside my birthday twin, ate an entire cake. no plates. just us and our silverware going crazy at midnight. Hows that for a party?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>goal two, have a fun day without any parental supervision<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t even live with my parents, so I guess I kind of have to do this. A few weeks back I was with a friend and I said &#8220;y&#8217;know, this was one of my goals. ride with a friend and sing songs at full blast.&#8221; Young me would be disappointed to know we were singing\u00a0 a three hour playlist of TikTok songs. The Scooby Doo theme song. Hit or Miss. You name it, we sang it. We also ate flowers later that day. Yeah, that&#8217;s the teenage dream! well, I enjoy it- i guess it doesn&#8217;t have to be everyone&#8217;s dream.<\/p>\n<p>goal three, be famous and popular<\/p>\n<p>this has not happened. I&#8217;m not the kind of person that would win homecoming, prom queen, whatever it is. However, I&#8217;ve got great friends and we mutually support each other. that&#8217;s all anyone can really ask for. I&#8217;ve heard my writing style is enjoyable at coffee house- I really appreciate hearing that too. I also seem to be a go-to for alterations and wig restorations. That&#8217;s good with me, since, i really love doing that stuff!<\/p>\n<p>I may not ever be famous, but heck yeah i&#8217;ll make the outfits for the people that are.<\/p>\n<p>What about you guys? have you accomplished any of your childhood goals? If so, what are they? I&#8217;d love to hear all about them! Maybe I set my hopes a little too high. But hey, we all seem to be doing pretty good in life. We made it to this school after all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I have to sit back and think of how I haven&#8217;t completely disappointed myself.
