Feeling of Youth

Have you ever been in a classroom or just hung out with friends and you felt like the youngest one of the group?  Today, I had my first astronomy class at SCCC and no joke there were 30yr olds.  I could not believe my eyes.  I truly think I was the youngest one in the room and usually I am the oldest, well hanging out with my friends that is.  I am 18 and most of my other friends are 17 and 16 but it's ok.  After I sat in the class for 15mins I thought I was going to feel awkward but I was comfortable with my surrounded.  Sometimes it is better to be with older people  because it makes you feel more mature about yourself.  Today was a start of a new journey and I am totally ready for it.  When I look back with hanging out with kids that were 16, I cant believe I actually did even though they were my friends.  But when you start to be around older people I guess you just cant go back to hanging out with younger kids because you feel like too much of a kid again.  Being an adult can surly can your lifestyle but I sometimes wish I was still 15 or 16.  I know I will look back years from now and can't believe I said this, but I know it is true.  Being surrounded by older adults can shape you to be a better, smarter person today that if you were still your old self hanging out with kids.
