The extended adolescence

Growing up is not easy. As an un mature adult, I can’t help fearing the fact that being adult seems to be….boring. So, by going abroad for one semester makes it easier to live like an extended adolescence.

First of all, being between 25-35 (+ a couple of years) is not old. We are raised to believe that time is running when we’re 30 and that we ought to settle down with someone and get married. Especially for woman, since we have that biological clock that’s ticking, we ought to settle down, get married and fix our lives. We compare our selves with our parent generation who had a fix job, two children and a new bought house in our age. Times are changing as Dylan said. Once and for all, being 30 is not old for not settle down!
Why do we have to get settle with one person? First of all, there is not ONE person but several that you might like in different situations, how do people decide who’s right and not? Sorry to say it, but there are so many adorable men in this world. Most of them aren’t as holes as most woman say. Who is right and who’s not?

Another thing that I don’t like about married people is that when they do get married, the individuality fades away as fast as cheap nail polish on an Indian summer.

But on the other hand, growing old alone don’t seem to be fun. And to raise children alone is cruel…it’s a catch 22.

For a woman, the best thing to do is get impregnated by the man she really likes but might not support her, and then convince some nice guy who is supportive and easy to live with that it is his baby and he should raise the child. It is harder with modern technology to get away with this since paternity can be determined by a simple genetic test.
