OSU football Coach Mike Gundy famously declared, “I’m a man! I’m 40!” When will you join the ranks of adulthood? How will you know?
I think that you officially become an adult when you are completely responsible for yourself, without assistance from others. I think that adulthood comes in stages. I’m becoming more of an adult because I’m moving away from home and will make more of my decisions by myself, but I still have ground to cover before I’m financially independent and have a stable job. I have a feeling that one day adulthood will just sneak up on me and I’ll realize I’ve become one without ever knowing it.

Adulthood, like many aspects of life, I believe is relative. To my young cousins I may appear to already be an adult while those who have ridden this roller coaster we call life for much longer than I have, may look at me and only see a young child. As long as this is always the case, I will continue to grow and learn from my mentors as well as be a model to those who look up to me. In the end, though I may grow older physically, I hope that my spirit will always stay young.

One of the most interesting features about this animal is its ability to change color instantly, blending in with its surroundings or scaring off a potential predator. The mimic octopus is so fascinating to me because it shows that we are not the only creatures on Earth of intelligence and full comprehension of our surroundings.
