About two week ago, On the day of October 15, 2016 (Saturday). I finally turned 18, I am now onto the next chapter of my life where I should start figuring out what do with it.

The question is, am I really ready to face this new chapter? Because I'm physically and mentally unprepared. First, I'm still stuck in college (two more years!!!). Second, I don't have any savings yet, I don't know where to work after college, should I be a full time blogger? Maybe it will take a long time to be on that position. Should I work in Airline company in Manila or maybe abroad? So many questions and planning on my mind right now. Man, I really don't know what to do yet. #LOSTINLIFE #MILLENNIALPROBS

But I guess it is normal to have these dilemmas in life at this age because I'm still young and new to this grown up world. I'm pretty much sure I'm not the only one who's struggling with the same problems right now, Imma right? I am just grateful and truly thankful to be surrounded by positive-minded people who don't stop supporting me and my dreams and guiding me all throughout (you know who you are!)

Being 18 feels like I'm a new person. I mean, I get to do a lot of things like go to clubs with your real ID, go on an adventure by yourself, talk like an adult, act like an adult (which I'm doing my best because I'm still immature af), and more adult stuff because I'm actually one now...or at least trying to be.

It's just sad knowing that I'm no longer a teenager (18 is still considered a teen, okay!!! Wag kang ANO!!!). I'm obliged now to get more public related to my course which I really hate because lining and waiting in crowded places are my pet peeves! Adult-ing is my worst enemy.... But yeah, life is good so bless up! #NaviTurns18 #Natality #Birthday #Eighteen
