So I turned 18 today

Happy 18th Birthday. :).

You've just finished climbing the mountain...childhood and school is behind you.

There's another mountain situated on this peak, waiting for you.
It's name is life.
Never forget that there is always more...

But, wishing you that your next climb will be easier than your last one.

Also, it's still May 2nd here in the US.

Happy Birthday! I like to think of birthdays as an objective New Year though most don't celebrate it as such. Consider making a video of yourself speaking about whatever you think and feel. In future years you may come to value it. Some mark each birthday with a video of themselves.

Congrats on reaching 18. Just don't forget that you still have 7 more years before your prefrontal cortex develops fully.

I was 18 in 1983 & my mom has your Birthday as well @JASKIRATSINGH GL to you & your family

you can watch any kind of movie you want now.you can legally marry someone.You can go to nightclubs,pubs,bars and drink alcoholic beverages.But if you break the law you will be treated as an adult.When i turned 18,i was still very immature.i felt like a grownup in my 30s

Happy Birthday

I started my second year of college.

It may have been the moment in my life when I was most confused and least likely to understand that I was.

The Age of Aquarius was dawning! The world was about to change! The old world was fading away!

No, it wasn't. And it shouldn't have.

The world goes ahead -- and the world will work out okay for a lot longer than we fear, I believe, based upon both reason and experience.

That's worth keeping in mind. The world is probably NOT ending. Not remotely. No matter how many internet clips suggest that it is. So, planning and self-discipline still make plenty of sense.

A good goal, well pursued with confidence, seems a good thing to have at 18. But 18 is still pretty young. That sounds impossible at the time -- but look back in just 10 more years and see if I'm right.

Be joyous. Being 18 is a real pleasure and a real gift. The world is still ahead of you. May you find and succeed in your own dream, whatever it may prove to be. But don't be too hard on yourself. Life doesn't require great victories as much as it calls for kindness and calm.

I'd love to be 18 again. Man. Imagine 18. Fast. Strong. As yet unlimited. The world a fascinating mystery, open to exploration!

At 18, about anything is literally possible to achieve. But most achievements require a lot of effort. Not a problem. Young people, if they choose to do so, can supply a lot of effort.
