Today is August 25. Its my birthday today. I'v turned 18, how cool is that, right? Technically, I still have another 4 hours until I actually do turn 18, but who's counting?

Its also good to know that I haven't changed too much since I was a kid, case in point- I'm still talking to myself.

Thank god I'm pretending to be asleep (did you know that I can do real snores without actually being asleep?); or else my parents, who I know are waiting for me to wake up so that they can hug me and wish me, will think I lost whatever senses I ever had.

But they probably wouldn't tell me that today what with it being my big day and all.

Today also happens to be a holiday from college. So I get to stay at home, make some hot chocolate, read some chick-lit, watch a girly film (or I might end up watching Transformers all over again).

Basically I get to do whatever I want.

I won't be going outside. It was raining a few moments ago and the sky is all misty and smoggy. I hate those days because my hair starts to frizz and I look like medusa. 

On my 17th birthday, I thought that my life could not get any better. I had a great family, awesome friends, I was getting a decent percentage, and I was happy.

Then 5 months ago, I thought that everything I had would just fade away because of the changes in my life.

I was wrong.

And the best part of it all, I got  a new person in my life.

Here's what happened............
