Never Growing Up
"Here's To Never Growing Up"

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing here's to never growing up

Call up all our friends, go hard this weekend
For no damn reason, I don't think we'll ever change
Meet you at the spot, half past ten o'clock
We don't ever stop, and we're never gonna change

Say, won't you say forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs
With the boom box blaring as we're falling in love
I got a bottle of whatever, but it's getting us drunk
Singing, here's to never growing up

We'll be running down the street, yelling "Kiss my ass!"
I'm like yeah whatever, we're still living like that
When the sun's going down, we'll be raising our cups
Singing, here's to never growing up

Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up
Oh whoa, oh whoa, here's to never growing up

We live like rock stars, dance on every bar
This is who we are, I don't think we'll ever change (hell no!)
They say just grow up, but they don't know us
We don't give a fuck, and we're never gonna change

Say, won't you say forever stay
If you stay forever hey
We can stay forever young

    The transition from adulthood to childhood is certainly not a simple adjustment. Coming of age presents many challenging decisions, overwhelming pressures, and emotions that can be very difficult for adolescents to overcome. In the excerpts that we studied, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and Escape to Afghanistan by Farah Ahmedi, the stories of two young people are told, revealing their struggles with coming of age and their personal life battles. The Kite Runner tells the story of the character Amir who is a boy trying to deal with his own internal conflicts involving the relationship with his father, Baba, and friend Hassan; which also happens to be his servant. In Escape to Afghanistan, the character Ahmedi is a girl telling the hardships…

    In the article “Nothing in Popular Culture Makes Sense Except in the Light of Evolution”, Saad (2012) discusses the evolution of popular culture and its origins. He points out that all humans are unique but both biological and cultural impose the same influences. Popular culture has become a part of every society’s biological heritage. From food to music, every product has been culturally affected. Saad (2012) touches on the global effects of music and the common “sex-specific preferences in the attributes we desire in prospective mates”. Male vocalists tend to sing about their high-end luxury goods and superior status; whereas, females sing about their physical beauty and the undesired traits and appearances of men. Throughout the evolution of music, all artists continue to follow this universal theme based on the Darwinian themes that “… yield survival or reproductive benefits” (p. 110). “Romance novels, pop songs and movie plotlines always come back to the Darwinian themes”. The patterns found in popular culture are connected to human nature and our biological instincts, all choices made from the locations people choose to reside in to the food that is purchased, evolution effects all human actions and…

    As Bennett (2001) implies, and as supported by the Kaiser Family Foundation’s study “Generation m2”, teenagers spend on average 2.20 hours listening to music. Its importance lies not only in providing for a mass market but also its ability to reflect and express popular culture. The perpetuation of popular music to be able to serve as a timeline; the protest songs of the 1960’s, the rock hits of the 1970’s, the power ballads of the 1980’s, k-pop today, not only acknowledges the issues of then, but also addresses, even if indirectly, the issues of today’s society. This essay will attempt to explore the capital issue…

    At one point in my life, before I entered into high school, I did not know the direction I was heading to. A time where, I felt, I did not have an exact purpose in life; where I did not care what could happen to me or anyone else. I did not try my best in anything, I gave up too fast at everything, I never tried to push through anything. My carelessness, at the time, did not do any good for me or my future. I struggled too much at the time and I did not try anything to push through in any way, shape, or form. During this time I reached one of the lowest points in my life where I never would want to end up again.…

    Transition to Adulthood

    • 509 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The entering of a young adult into adulthood is a monumental step in a person’s life thatg requires many major changes in decision-making, responsibilities, and behaviors. It appears there are gender differences between males and females, as females appear to go through the major transitions to adulthood at a younger age and leave home faster than men (Holloway, 2010). My hypothesis is that females have an earlier transition to adulthood and will leave home at a younger age than males because females have a stronger drive for independence and a readiness to leave their sheltered lives at home and have been able to find “who they are” earlier.…

    The Theme Of Growing Up

    • 104 Words
    • 1 Page

    The theme of Growing Up is to enjoy your childhood and don't grow up too fast. I think this is the theme because on page 8 it said " She hugged her doll.Something was happening to her, and it might be that she was growing up.When The news ended , and a song started playing, she got up and washed her face without looking in the mirror." This shows that the theme is to enjoy your childhood because that worry that Maria felt is only felt by adults. As kids you don't realize how easy you have it and how hard life really…

    What does make you a grown-up? Is it moving out of the house? Hitting a certain age? Having a relationship? Getting a job? How is it that we can do those things, that we consider to be “adult”, but we still feel like kids? Or that we feel like grown-ups, we're certainly old enough, but we haven't seemed to have accomplished any of those things “grown-ups” have done?…

    The arduous task of planting flowers symbolized more to me than dirt, frustration, and flowers. However, at the time it was just a difficult objective to plant daffodils on a Saturday morning when I could have stayed home and pursued my usual quest of ruining my eyesight by watching long durations of my favorite cartoons. However, my father had different plans that day as I was dragged out of my house to go help him plant daffodils for a charity case. He told me that this particular project symbolized new beginnings and a sense of unity throughout the neighborhood. Of course all that was resonated to me was labor and missing out on watching some my dearest superheroes fight off evil. Little did I know that this particular event in my life would cause a dramatic change in the way I proceeded to work, think about goals, and think about what it means to actually accomplish goals I set out for myself?…

    Coming of Age

    • 793 Words
    • 4 Pages

    A coming of age experience can happen any time during one’s life, most often when it is least expected. It is the thread that sews humanity together, a phenomenon, which is undeniable. Society tells us, it is a defining moment in a child’s life, when the world somehow becomes his or her own. Why then is “Coming of Age” simply relegated to the young? We all experience this phenomenon, from the tender age of four till the ripe old age of ninety-four. It is not an experience based solely on chronological milestones. Coming of age is a defining moment when a person’s wide-eyed innocence is replaced with something deeper and at times something darker and more sinister, a snapshot in life when one realized the answer rests inside us, not relying completely on God. Consequently, in that way, we are always coming of age, always-losing innocence, gaining understanding, and always discovering new truths about ourselves, emotionally, and intellectually. Coming of age is the act of experiencing a definitive shift in one’s perspective, a greater realization of ones place in the world, and a further understanding of how personal actions and reactions are integrally linked.…
