the world spins madly on...

A year ago, I was at UCLA. Still not completely positive about what I would do after graduation. Going to bed before midnight was a rarity--actually, I am pretty sure it did not happen. Social life took priority before everything, trying to make as many memories in the short time that was left. I had eaten in De Neve Dining Hall every day for four years, I did not even know how to cook pasta. I never went to sleep without a list of a few dozen tasks that I never got to.

Now I don´t stay awake past 10PM or get up later than 7. I have time to read and relax and forgot what homework was. I can now cook a variety of meals on an unadjustable gas burner with one heat setting (HOT), and manage my own finances and paperwork and other stuff I never used to do before. I worry about wrinkles and healthy diet and what I can accomplish before I turn thirty. Every time I log onto facebook I see more friends that have gotten engaged or married, or even babies on the way and still others whose lives have changed dramatically and I never even realized.

When did this all happen? I feel like I literally blinked and became an adult and some type of transition is missing.
