- Calling the people I date "boys". I'm not sure when I'll start calling them men, but I'll concede that "boys" sounds silly. I like "guys" for starters.
- Accepting half-love from said guys.
- Forgetting to refill my contact prescription and going blind for a week every fiscal quarter.
- Avoiding the dentist.
- Dreading confrontation of any sort. Confrontation is progress. Confrontation is progress...
- Not asking for help when I need it. No need to figure everything out on your own, yo.
- Giggling when I receive a compliment.
- Hesitating to ask for what I want.
- Eating cheese when I know I really shouldn't eat cheese.
- Minding the nay-sayers. The haters can suck it.
- Letting other people's moods affect me so much.
And, some things I'll never stop doing, regardless of age or sideways glances:
- Calling my dad "Daddy".
- Daydreaming about being Belle from Beauty and the Beast. I mean, that library! Swoon.
- Digging Lorde. Mah girl.
- Avoiding the phone most of the time.
- Giggling in general.
- Asking my mom to make me snack. Being overwhelmingly pleased with whatever she brings me.
- Twirling whenever I wear a twirl-worthy dress.
- Acting like a kid in a candy store when, you know, I'm in a candy store. Or on a cruise ship. Or in Europe. Or in Bed Bath & Beyond's bedding aisle.
