So I'm a little on the younger side... I turn 18 in 2026 and have already graduated high school. What should I expect? Is it any different from being 17, especially with my experiences and being a year ahead of my other 17-year-old peers? I was in my senior year when they were juniors.

You'll be assigned a war to be obsessed with for now, at 21 you'll actually be able to do adult things, at 25 you can rent a car so that's nice, and once you hit 30 you'll get your issued set of New Balances. I still have to find out what's next, I think at 38 you get a moustache but no beard.
