Well, today marked a very special day for me because what happened signified something I think will make me, how should I put this, all grown up. So what marked the change from adolescense to adult-hood? It was not my 21st birthday because that happened in November; it was not graduation because that hasn't happened yet; no, it was something more simple but just as significant. I bought a book shelf from ikea that matches my bedside table.
No, I'm not that shallow *please stifle your laughs.* The simple act of swiping my credit card and walking out with a box that didn't fit in my car as it was full of people so I went back again and it just fitted with a hard push of the trunk door does not make me an adult. Let me explain. During university, I lived a frugal life and everything I had existed because I placed them in different coloured milk crates I stole during the middle of the night from the back doors of supermarkets. Those milk crates epitomised everything about uni - practicallity, simplicity and foremost, free. So what ended up in my milk crates? Obviously, I used it as storage; for my books, papers, cds, magazines, toys, playstation, clothes and anything and everything was thrown in them. I also forgot to mention that they also doubled as seating in my room. But as you mature, your needs change. Trying to be sophisticated, I bought a book shelf and now, my life exists neatly and organised within well defined spaces. Yes, I'm growing up and am deeply ashamed of it.
So from today, its goodbye milk crates and hello book shelf
tyarrhea still reeling from the life changing purchase
