Explaining the title - "bieng twenty-een"

So I guess its best if I explain this particular 'weird' phenomena as well before people write me off as a nut job. First off lets get the pronunciation out of the way. Its easy really. You say eighteen, nineteen and instead of saying twenty, you say twenteen. And that basically is the whole concept behind it - the teenage. Does becoming twenty at once catapult you from an angry kid to a mature adult? The more important question here I guess is - should it? I mean after all you spent 19 years of your life being irresponsible and now suddenly you have to be responsible.

I guess the problem is that your excuse has been taken away. Now you can be taunted with the torturous phrase - you are not a kid anymore or you are no longer a teenager or the really sad one; Grow up and start taking responsibility. But the feelings and the ideas you had formed about life are not that easy to let go off. Its the age when you begin to realize whether you are on the right path or whether you have made the biggest mistake of your life. Take me for example, I am trying to become an engineer and I realize now that its not really going to work one way or the other. I think I should have become an architect - maybe I would have failed that too - maybe university just isn't the place where I was supposed to be. Anyways coming back to the point - which I have quite lost track off - what does being twenty entail.

Suddenly, expectations start weighing you down and you realize that the carefree days are gone. Problem is you don't want to let go. So I guess this is all about not wanting to or not being able to let go of your teenage and this blog will document my thoughts as I traverse through the twentieth year of my life and as you will or would have recognized by now; my thoughts are not much different from those of a nineteen year old. After all if you look logically at it - the difference is only of a few seconds. This side of midnight you are a crazy nineteen year old so how can the passing of a few seconds just whisk away all that and leave you a very level headed twenty year old. This is what I like to call - "being twenteen" - you are welcome to call it crazy - seriously I don't mind!
