| | So most of the time I still do not feel like an adult, but it sometimes the feeling comes in waves. I've felt this twice recently.
1)Yesterday when I decided to plan a trip to visit my friend. It feels very independent/ semi strange for me still to book a plane ticket myself. It's this feeling of power that I am planning my own destiny and making my own decisions about picking up and putting myself on a plane and traveling by myself without my parents or family.
2) I bought myself an entire carvel ice cream cake at the food store. That's right.... it's not my birthday, it's not anyone else's birthday whom I bought it to celebrate. I saw the cake. I wanted the cake. I bought the cake. I was half expecting my mom to pop out of the aisles in the food store and say "Allison, put that back." But she didn't. I bought it to eat all by myself. I feel slightly sheepish every time I pull the cake out of the freezer to cut myself a slice. Perhaps the most shocking part of all of this is for me was when I admitted (guiltily) to my mom that I had purchased this dairy extravagance and her response was " Good, you deserve it." Not quite the scolding response I was expecting. I guess I'm really not a little kid anymore.
