Sometimes it's the time off of school that gets my brain jump-started. I don't think that's necessarily a good thing. With that in mind, I remembered a topic that I've been approached with on several occasions. If you have hitherto read any of my entries, you can probably tell I'm a fairly opinionated person. I would like to stress the fact, however, that my opinions aren't something I create just for kicks. I mean, I don't sit around and think, "You know, I really hate mallard ducks. yeah, that sounds right." That doesn't happen (just in case you, for some reason, thought that it did.) My opinions, just like anyone else's, are based largely on personal experiences revolving around that given topic. That being said, I would like to introduce you to my newest topic of discussion (and by discussion, I mean ranting, considering the fact that in a blog of this nature, very little discussion actually occurs.) That topic is: age.
There is a commonly held belief that after high school, age doesn't matter that much. And I would, to an extent agree. At the age of 18, it doesn't really matter, and perhaps the reason is because there is no legal ramification for a 18-year-old girl to be hit on by a man of age 27. Note: I made the distinction of LEGAL ramification, as that given scenario would probably have some social consequences...like....disgustingness (if anyone reading this is married to someone who is either 9 years older or younger, note that I'm speaking my personal opinion, and if it works for you...good on ya.)
The thing that brings this up is an experience I had the other weekend. I was hanging with friends, and I invited someone, who invited someone, who invited someone. The third someone happened to be in high school, and at the moment we found out, almost simultaneously, we took a big step backwards...like, physically. Her own words stated "it's no big deal," but I guess that's because she may not have had a grasp on the legal aspect of things. There's something wrong with 24-year-old guys hitting on high school girls. If you disagree, well, I would advise counseling.
Being 18 can be a rough time for a person. So much changes in an individual's life; I like to call it "second puberty." A magical transformation occurs when a person is forced to experience college life for a year or two. It's almost like when a pokemon gains enough experience and evolves. Yeah, I just dropped that reference. You know what, it would probably be better for everyone if you just forgot that I dropped that reference. Sports (I'm just hoping that bringing up that word makes you forget.) If you don't know the change that occurs, there's a good chance you haven't gone through it...or are going through it...or need to just grow up. Seriously.
Anyway, I can't really think of anything else to write right now. Call it writer's block, if you want. Call it a ham sandwich if you really want. I really need to stop writing, so that's what I'm going to do.
