The Clock is Actually Ticking....

     So I'm in my hometown for the weekend. I decided that I would clean the house today because I'm having some super close pals coming over later. After I cleaned, I headed to the mall. Smelling like Clorox wipes, I walked into the one-building teen city known as Arbor Place. As I walked around, depressed empty wallet in hand, I noticed that it wasn't the same mall. I didn't see the usual group of familiar faces that happened to all work at the Chick-Fil-A, or the friends that were always bored so they pretty much lived at the mall. It was weird because I was definitely seeing TONS of teens, but something felt different.....they were all obnoxiously loud, the couples made me want to vomit with their hand holding while holding their food court trays, and they seemed way too young to be walking around by themselves (I mean they have braces!). Then I realized..."I'm growing up." I've arrived to the ages where teens are actually annoying like parents say. The new generation has already come to take over the overpriced stores while I've been gone. As teenagers, we don't feel like these years will ever end. We are at the top of our game, the It Crowd, the top dogs, the "mature" ones. But days keep passing, we keep growing, and our acne is finally starting to pass....we're growing up guys. The clock is actually ticking...
