ok so like am i the only one who's basically an adult but also still a child? cause im a senior in high school right now applying to colleges and everything but also im the one who calls up the electric company when the bill is too high and sits on hold for an hour to argue with them about usage and like figures out why our internet keeps dropping out and even does all the grocery shopping planning the meals and everything for the whole family
my parents just really struggle with english you know and they try so hard but like when the landlord sends a letter or something or there's a problem with the water bill it just comes to me and ive been doing this since like middle school when i first figured out how to use google translate and call customer service numbers and pretend i was my dad i guess it's just always been like this and it's fine i guess but sometimes im just SO tired of it like i just wanna worry about my calculus homework or what im gonna wear to prom or whatever but instead im comparing phone plans or figuring out how to get the best deal on milk at costco it's just A LOT sometimes you know?
and now with college apps it's like ok i have to be good enough to get into a good school so i can get a good job so i can help them out later but also i cant like move too far away because who's gonna do all this stuff then and who's gonna help them if something REALLY big happens and i just feel like im stuck sometimes like everyone else is just figuring out what their major is gonna be and im over here calculating property taxes like am i the only one that feels like their future is already kinda decided for them because of this?
