Why do adults wanna be kids again?

I just turned 18! I'm living life!
My dad and brothers said "Oh you just wait. The adult life won't be like you expect. Bills, mortgage, dealing with the government, adult issures, going to doctors more, dealing with marriage/relationships, kids, and time flies and you'll be 40 before you know it. Adulting isn't fun. The world is more brutal to adults than children. You had your childhood and you're not a kid anymore."
Great....now I'm having second thoughts. I'm going to college next month and my cousin said college is different from high school and you'll be on your own. I'm cool with that. Teachers won't be on me all the time. Can't wait to party!

If you are going to college to party, I suggest you save yourself the enormous debt, (or save it so that your parents don't have to pay it), and get a job doing something awesome, (like the Peace Corps volunteers), for a few years and give yourself time to grow up. I sure wish I had done that. But I didn't. I partied my way through college, and got mixed up with the wrong guy. If I had waited 8 to 10 years I would have appreciated all of it so much more.
