10 Reasons Why Growing Up Is Overrated

1. Remember when you were a kid and you wanted to stay up late and watch tv with your parents to see what "grown up life" was like? I must say the only perk about growing up is that when you get paid you can get a nice looking flat screen state of the art gadget with hdtv and a cable box or whatever it is nowadays, but even with all of the alien technology and 500 channels, there is STILL nothing to watch. EVER. Except for cartoons and music videos.
2. I always wanted to get mail when I was younger, maybe have a pen pal from Japan or someplace cool like that, but as an adult a pen pal is better known as a bill collector.
3. Summer is just a bit sunnier when you can wake up on a Monday at 3:00 in the afternoon, take a shower and head to the beach or the pool, take a nap, wake up later like at 12 am and munch on cereal, instead of working 9-5 everyday missing all the good weather. It's like when you grow up it rains on the weekends on purpose.
4. As I get a little older I am finding that kids food isn't the same. This Sunday I had a cheeseburger , a hot dog and a lot of chips and guacamole at a friends bbq, then for dinner I had pizza and this HUGE garlic bread that we thought was our pizza, and this morning I think I will never get over this indigestion. Sucks.
5. Now a days kids have all of these cool toys and things that actually DO something, unlike those gummy toys that you would let sit in water and watch them grow...exciting. I guess you would need an immense amount of imagination for those things.
   
6. High heel shoes and grown up clothes are EXTREMELY over rated. I don't think I was ever the type of youngin to steal my moms shoes and walk around in them, and I think I had some inclination back then that they are the most impractical thing ever. Granted I own a couple but they are definitely not in the most accessible place in my closet.
7. Career day at school was always pretty interesting, I probably never really understood what it meant to have a job and I never knew that to be a doctor or a lawyer you would never finish school, but it was nice to live vicariously through adults for one day.
8. Chuckee Cheese is sooo much more fun when you are oblivious to the germanious, boogery kids that run around in their stinky socks.
9. Being messy when you're little is kind of cute. Even though I am still little in size it is not becoming of me. Sadly I am still working on it.
10. Most of all blog post like these make you realize how good it was to be young no matter what predicament you were blindly in when you were little. Whether your parents were rich or poor didn't matter back then, all that mattered were Saturday morning cartoons and getting chores done, or hiding in order not to do them.
