Story a Day A new short-short story on the regular.

18 til I die.

When my friend Leah turned 19, I made her a mixtape of as many songs I could find that were about being 18. I think I really only found two. The best one was 18 til I die by Bryan Adams. I found it weird that he sang about being 18 forever when he was really, like, thirty something. She wanted to stay 18 forever and I don’t really know why—being 18 wasn’t that cool, really. I guess I didn’t want her to be obsessed about being 18 when she was thirty something.
