"being grown up isn't half as fun as growing up.. these are the best days of our lives.." - the ataris
this is my favorite line from the song "in this diary" by the ataris. actually, this is one of my favorite song lines and it can also be considered as one of my mottos in life.
everytime i hear the song or remember that line, i forget about my problems in life. i put them all aside and think about enjoying my life at the moment. i think about doing things that i enjoy - things that i'll be happy about. i put to mind that i'll only go through this stage of my life once and i can never go back once i've aged so i'll live this stage the best way that i can - enjoying life as a teen-ager, not minding the future but only the present moment. it may be a careless way of thinking but i think that we should have this from time to time. for us to unwind and see the beauty that life has for us. for us to be free from the constraints of the world and our life.
i know in roughly 3 or 4 years i'll be graduating from college and face real life. by that time i have to be independent and i have to prepare for it and now's the time. but still, "being grown up isn't really half as fun as growing up", so what the heck. i'll just enjoy... for now...Ü

solid
the things you said were pretty SOLID! hahaha! i know the song that you are pertaining to, i think i've heard it on the radio. i feel the same way too sometimes, when i feel that i just need to forget all the hassles involving school and drink a little to relax... mostly, i take time during the weekend to hangout with my friends and relieve the stress i've had for the past week.. i feel that it is essential for a teenager to be well-rounded in a sense that we shouldn't be preoccupied by school work too much and we shouldn't relax too much to the point that we no longer take our studies into consideration. i feel that in order to live our lives growing up happily, we should experience the best of both worlds..we could enjoy studying and have fun at the same time by studying while we are in the presence of our friends. (diga bro while studying) hahaha! its chende.. rock on bro!
