"all grown-up"

This Tuesday I turned eighteen, and I of course had to sit through the awkward "you're all grown-up now"-speech, which was terrible and lovely at the same time, but honestly, I don't feel any more grown-up than I did last week, I am aware that's very cliché, but it's true.
It made me think aswell, I mean, how do we define a grown-up? I know it's different depending on where in the world you live, but in Denmark you're an adult when you turn eighteen, even though drinking and having sex is legal from you're 15-16, when you turn 18 you're just allowed to get into bars and stuff like that. Of course when you turn 18 you can also get you driver's license (even though I know people over 18 whom I'm not entirely sure should be allowed their driver's license... But the same goes for a lot of thing, not everyone is mature enough for the things they're legally allowed to do...) And of course when you turn eighteen you start getting SU, which is basically money you get for going to school, I send my application yesterday, (see I am "all grown-up" I can do stuff on my own and everything), I also went to the bank Thursday to talk about all the money-stuff that needs sorting now that I'm legally and adult and therefore my bank changes stuff around, so I had to talk about that, which was "fun", oh well, needed doing and now that's done.
For me becoming an adult also means my parents will stop paying for things, well the last 5-6 years I've paid for my own clothes, and before that I paid for all the stuff that I didn't necessarily needed, but I wanted, like books (and when I was a younger toys and stuff, of course I had loads of toys left from my older siblings, but I had to pay for my pokemon-stuff myself). But now I have to pay for things like shampoo and other things that are as my mom put it "not necessary for you survival", which I'm fine with, seeing as I will get more money now, so I'm okay with the whole thing, I'll just have to make sure I don't spend all my money on flights to Northern Ireland...

But else from the money-stuff, I don't think an awful lot has changed since my birthday, I think (again very cliché) I think I'm still a child at heart...
