Is it subjective? I wonder.. I just forget. I have to stop and do math to remember half the time.
When the people all around me have birthdays that start with 4, I forget that I'm not all that far away from that myself.
I think we're adults at 24. Yeah, I know you're legal at 21.. but come on. Most , or at least more than a few, are still at home after 18.
