i got to thinking, what stage do you see yourself being at? do you feel grown up yet? would you class yourself as a responsible adult? i know a lot of you are all Grown up and stuff but does has it sunk in yet? or are you still big kids?

I suppose id say that as im at Uni i dont think im fully grown up. what with the full time education an all. but next year i'll be in a proper house away from Home - living with other people in the same boat as me, paying real bills and all that stuff.
Is it possible to be Half Grown up?

what do you guys think

Ditto.

I think I became 'grown-up' a bit too quick. After I left school before I knew it I was in a different country with a career, a house and a car. I think I missed out on the social aspect of university but I plan to make up for that in the next few years. Still a lot of growing up to do though :)
 
Just about Socially acceptable. :)
I still have around 2 days a week where it's best i stay indoors away from the public but i am doing better every year.
After totally losing the plot in my twenties its took all my thirties to get to this stage.
Hopefully i will get through the rest of my life without killing anymore people. :p


For the stupid git who asks OF COURSE THATS A JOKE.
 
Grown up but still feel young at heart. I also feel im confused, kinda like im at a cross road in life.
 
Grown up sometimes but i still do lotsa silly things with my mates n stuff !

left school at 15 got a job so it tht sense i am quite grown up most of ym freinds all go to uni or are still deciding wht they want to do so am i but i work while i am doing that !
 
Well atleast im not the only one :)

i also think ive got a lot of growing up todo while still being more grown up than people older than me, my Brother for example, he doesnt take responsility for anything and is quite happy to drift through life.

I suppose after uni it can go one of two ways, i grow up or i stay an eternal student hehe
 
I'd say i can be pretty grown up when the time calls for it, i can make mature decisions etc etc but i like acting like a bit immature at times :) .
 
I'm 25, engaged, and I own a house, I look back at when I was younger and realise how far i've come, but I still can't see myself ever being properly "grown up".
 
To be honest I don't know where i'm at at the moment. Next year i'm moving into a house with some mates near uni but I wouldn't say I was grown up, independent yes, grown up? I doubt it :)

After uni I'm hoping to get a job straight away however as soon as I have the money, i'm going off to live somewhere else for a while. I really don't see myself staying any place too long, not before i'm 30 anyway.
 
I'm 30 years old.
I own my own home.
I drive a big car.
I have a £75k salary.

That's the grown up stuff

I play with RC cars.
I mess about.
I spend every penny of my money on toys
I still say "cool" and "sweet"

And the important thing:

I still feel 14

It's bizarre actually. I can be in a meeting, talking to the directors of a billion $ company and I suddenly think to myself: "why are they listening to me? I'm just a kid."

At the end of the day I'm a 14 year old in a 30 year old body.
 
i think this is something that comes to mind when at uni...i know i've thought about it whist being here.

I'm 19, in the first year of my degree, so i'm at an enjoyable stage of my life.
But its not all fun and games, i've experienced the real world unlike many of my classmates - i worked a full 12months 9-5 before ditching it for uni life (a great year in industry!) So with that in mind, i'd say i'm at a fairly 'grown up' and mature stage now...far more boring than most 19 yr olds with and generally treated as the 'dad' of our flat!
But i'm also at a stage where i've got the world at my feet, i'm just starting to think about my next year in industry and wondering what company i'll end up wth this time and in what kind of job.

But i wont worry about all that for a while yet, i don't leave here till 2009 so i've got plenty of time to enjoy this stage.

im excatly the same, thinking about my year in industry and how i'll be in a proper job for a year. and then most of the mates i'll have maid as well as my Girlfriend i'll be away from for My year in industry and then my final year as they'll have Graduated (hopefully)

i hope when i get to 30 i still feel like a kid on the inside :P
 
Well, I'm at that stage where nearly all the cliches about age ring true ....

Nothing really matters except love and health, all the other **** is either a bonus or a pain.

All the " there's always someone worse off " is actually correct and I am thankful that I am not watching my kids die of starvation before me or that I'm not having my head sawn off by some medieval arab etc.

I've done the rat race thing for a while and didn't enjoy it; much better to be happy with true friends and try to help other people ...... God! I sound like mother Theresa ... I don't mean to.

We all need money BUT there is MUCH more to a good life than owning things ....

I hope some of you younger people realise that some of the above is true and live your lives accordingly.

Live long and prosper (spiritually). :)
 
well iam 30
Went to uni etc.. my career got screwed in 2001 (i thought i would make millions) fell into IT after 2001, dont seem to progress because all the jobs are contract plus IT is kinda crap, not sure what to do and the only thing i can think off is doing a masters in management hoping it will get me a decent job and wage.

If not then got to plan 1 big raid and move away in other words it feels as if my life is screwed.
