So, what is it about adulthood that is better for you? Have you noticed any changes in your life in the years since becoming a legal adult and/or finishing school? Is there anything you wish was different about your life?
Not having to go to high school and juggle a job. I could only work 3 days a week, but still. It sucked having to work and then juggling school.

What about the negatives? What do you say could be different? How big of a change would it be? Since we can't go back in time, how can you work towards these changes from here on out? Do you think you could ever get there?
Health issues are a negative. They didn't happen till 2013 and then creeped into 2019, 2020, and 2021. Yeah, I can get better losing weight and controlling my type 2 diabetes. I am on insulin and admit the past 6 months or better I neglected that. Stuff is going on IRL, and just..yeah.

What advice do you have for those who are just becoming legal adult or are about to graduate from high school/university?
Please take care of yourself. Do go to the doctor if you're having issues with ANYTHING! Adulthood is when I totally learned I needed to take better care of myself. I still am not the best at eating habits and having an active lifestyle. So any new legal adults or young adults reading this... Do take care of yourself both physically and mentally.

I also would like to say do save money each check when you get a job even if $20 or so. I'd open a savings account and put it there even.
