We're adults. When did this happen? And how do we make it stop?

As we grow, we notice more and more changes. Life suddenly is not as innocent and carefree as it was while we were children... Don't get me wrong, I think being an adult is a great thing- I am independent, I don't have to explain my actions to anyone (as long as they are approved by society or no one sees them, which is usual the case), I can work so I can be financially independent (theoretically) and just focus on what I want to do in life. And all those 'bad things'- sex, alcohol, unhealthy food, going to sleep whatever time I want- they are the best- of course not going overboard. As my friend says: 'Everything in moderation, including the moderation'.

But adulthood usually comes hand in hand with his twin sister- responsibility. If one is acting like an adult, he/she should be ready to take all the consequences that result from given behaviour. Not everyone that is legally adult is truly 'real life adult'. But if not the age, what is the measure of audulthood? Marriage/kids/ job?

Pretty much every day Facebook informs me that someone got engaged/married/pregnant/kids...but unfortunately, information  also about diseases and death come to me from around... Does it mean that I am an adult? That this sweet barrier of innocence, that was wrapped around me when I was a child, is hanging by a thread, and no bad news can escape me now? Can I stop them? Can medicine stop them?

Christmas is coming!

December has started so I allow myself embrace the Christmas spirit, even though I am deeply in the exams (one down, 3 to go!) and sparkles, hot chocolate and Christmas cards are probably last things on my list at the moment... Yet, I think December is good time to start, not November, and I refuse to acknowledge it until I open first door of Advent calendar... This year, it is, surprise-surprise- Frozen theme! I do like that cartoon (despite my age and despite my boyfriend hating it:)).

And speaking of finding Christmas spirit- something very Christmasy and Polish and something I have been craving for a while (I do any time of a year, in fact)- gingerbread cookies with fruit filling. Found them in Dunnes!
