Time, where does it all go?

Unfortunately this blog again probably won't be that long, as I'm currently revising for an exam on monday and wednesday.
Usually I wouldn't do much revision this close to an exam, in order to not over load myself, however these being my first university exams, I'm thinking that I'll need all the help I can get.

The reason I wanted to talk about this subject, is because over the holidays, whilst I've been back at home, I've been hearing quite a few stories about my friends and what they are up to now, and about younger people that I used to know through school.

Its now only about a month away until my 20th birthday, which I and most people would say is quite young, however hearing that a lot of my friends have just over a year left at university, or that some have really good jobs with houses and mortgages, makes you feel a lot older. Hearing all these things also makes me feel slightly behind, in the sense that I'll still be at uni when others have their degrees and are out using them. I know its not a race though, and there's no stage that people are meant to be at at this age, so I'm not that worried about it.

The second part of why I feel as though I've lost a few years of my life, is because recently I've seen people who used to go on my school bus, who when I was in sixth form, were in years 8-10. However seeing some of them over the holidays walking about town, and hearing a few stories about them, I've now discovered they're now in college, with about a year to go before university.
This just feels very weird to me, remembering these kids who I used to know, and now in such a short space of time, are grown up and the same age I was when I knew them.

I'm sure once again, I'm sounding very weird, however to those of you my age or older I'm sure you know how I feel, and to those of you younger then me, you'll feel this way soon enough, it's just a matter of time.

Before I go, I wanted to say quickly again, that I'm sorry for not having uploaded anymore of those favourites blogs I said I would. I promise as soon as these exams are over and the chaos is over, I'll get straight onto uploading a few more.
