Okay guys, chill out.

This is my brother here who'm I am proud of for who he is and for his decisions in life (so far).

He posted this thread with the intentions knowing what you guys did when you turned 18, not to ask your opinions on his religious choices or other stuff.

I ask you guys as an old TL member who use to contribute enormously to this site,
stay respectful and do not derail the topic.

Was the oldest of my "friends" at the time. I was currently in the process of sleeping with my friends brothers girlfriend, so on my birthday we all got really high and went driving somewhere and she blurted out to the guy how useless he was and she liked me more but I had to tell her I just liked her ass and drug connections. She was really sad she fucked herself over so hard. We still were "friends" anyway, girls right.

I was a an idiot, fun times though.

I remember turning 18 was such a big deal for me that when it happened I felt like even pissing was somehow more special.

Now, I've got to tell you something, dear birthday guy, when u turn 18 something strange happens and time starts to go at 4x times the speed. It's unexplainable, but if you ask anyone they will confirm. Just try asking your parents or someone you know. I'm sure they will say the same - after 18 or 20 it just seems that you blackout for half a day or something cause time really seems to be going 4x times the speed. Not even joking!

Happy Bday, tho

got stripper.
i got hot wax all over me and the stripper shaved my ass because it was my birthday.
1/4 of people got kicked out when hotel management came with police officers due to noise complaint and ID'ed everyone.

Agreed, and that mental state can be prolongated in time, I think I didnt have a glimpse of what the heck I was doing untill I was 22 or so xD

Man do we have different standards... Sure I was raised in a grungy environment but our perks and objectives feel so different ^^

My accomplishments (that I was proud of, or at least that I regarded highly) at the time were something along the lines of
-Keeping my asperger's well hidden to everyone
-Having a close group of friends (which later completely bailed on me when my mom got cancer and I had to hop between jobs)
-Having had girls have teen crushes on me (mind you I was a teenager at the time, it sounds ridiculous to me as well right now)
-Getting over 160 at a mensa test and basically giving them the middle finger
-I remember being really proud about how effectively I would spend my spare time, I was often feeling like I was achieving more by skipping school and taking time to myself.
-Being able to make (albeit really small, but pre-esports burst) a little money off of videogames
...and that's about it? Idk, it's probably the asperger's but I never really felt like I needed to accomplish stuff, it was always more about people pushing me and me turning around.

What I was concerned with not having accomplished at the time was something a lot of people will have in common with me, such as
-Being really awkward clubbing and actually getting girls and long-term relationships
-Never being able to get a job
-Not being able to stay in the same school for a prolonged period of time (changed elementary school and high school midway), being absent a lot (which isn't too uncommon in Italian schools, but one day a week on average is still considered a bit much).
-Having a low self esteem, again girls.
-Not being able to keep a full Will Hunting persona (my scores were always decent to good but never stellar, that is without touching a book for the whole course of high school)
-Being actually quite bad at music and not too good at coding.
-Not having my nose fixed, which has been gimping my body throughout my whole life, and that I am still working on getting surgery on.

To be honest I found this interesting because I haven't had a chance to look back before but some people might find this boring or that it should simply be blogged. Regardless, have a happy birthday and enjoy being 18!

Oh and I got a stripper too.

I don't remember mine either. I was a soph at university and it was just uneventful. I'm guessing it was studying and videogames. I don't see what the big deal is.

I went out drinking with my friends (most of whom had already turned 18) and had a great time while spending loads of money on alchohol. Yes, drinking age is 18 here

was a big deal for me since I was able to open a chequing account and immediately start gambling online. dunno why but the online casinos/poker rooms require canadians to be 18+ even tho its technically illegal for any Canadian of any age to gamble on their sites.
I made some decent money bonus whoring back then, so it was pretty epic to get that free $

I ate cake. I sometimes also eat cake when I don't turn 18.
I like to forget my own age and/or year of birth because, well, I simply don't care.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I played brood war all day, just like every other day back then. So play brood war or sc2 all day. Not because your 18, but because your a fucking boss.
