You're only as old as you feel

....And I feel OLD. With my 25th birthday looming around the corner I cant help but feel slightly sad that I am definitly closing a big chapter of my life. I feel like I cant get away with alot of the things that I did in my early 20's (nor would I really want to.) Such as: staying up until 5 am, going out drinking every night of the week, not having a savings account, maxing out my credit cards. When I think about being 21, 22, 23....I definitly had a huge amount of fun but I feel like I am so beyond that now. What makes me most happy is staying in on a Friday night, curled up on the sofa with Dan and a bag of popcorn, watching a movie. And even thinking about getting wasted and staying up until 4am when I have to work the next day sounds so unappealing. I guess what makes me even sadder is even though I feel so much more mature/older/wiser/ect...I really feel like I am at the same place that I have been for the last few years. I still am waiting to start my nursing clinicals, not married, no kids, ect....and even though Dan and I are moving in together in the next couple of months, and will get married and have kids, I feel like I am so ready to do that NOW. I am so ready to be done with school and be a nurse. I am ready to get married, and be an old married couple, and cook dinner for him every night. I think for the most part I need to relax and not plan everything out. These things will happen, and its ok if they dont happen right now. I think if I keep reminding myself that I can steer clear of the mid mid-life crisis I would otherwise have on my 25th birthday!! Heres some random pictures.
