such a new found freedom must be realized and explored. i am considered in the state's eyes, an "adult," and I intend to start acting like one. Or at least using all that is given to me.

Hi, Dynamiccharge. Your nickname is fine and I like it. By the by I desire to advise you to prove yourself that you are really dynamic. 'Handsome is what handsome does'. In the same way 'dynamism is what dynamism does'. You are 18. That means you have entered the portals of bullish age. You are at liberty to choose either the positive or negative side of life. Final choice is yours. There are several ways to get into negative path. They seem to be more attractive and drag you to their fold much easily. Drinks and drugs, gals and gambling would molest you to the core and the purpose of your life would go waste and meaningless. Choose the right royal path that leads you to glory and that would transfrom you into a fine human being. If you are a student still, I hope, concentrate on your studies, choose a right career according to your interest and talent and work hard. Certainly you would imprint your name and fame in the annals of human history. Good luck!
