Reaching the next phase in life?

I woke up in a dreamy and exhausted mood (I've been working through the night for the past few days) to find that there's a message in my hp. A friend was telling me that she's going to get married in January.

Then another friend told me later in the afternoon that she got engaged last weekend.

How scary is it that more and more of my friends are getting engaged or married. Kor's married, YK's married, Prisc's getting engaged/married next yr, Etty's getting married, and now even Sophie's engaged.

I guess it feels weird because I'm still an undergraduate while those my age should be working already. I'm still a "student" and hence, the feeling of being still young and innocent, completely forgetting the fact that I'm 24 this year. Hmm..the age where girls are starting to get married.

It seems exciting to be entering this new phase of life - getting engaged/married- whereby it takes 2 to walk down this new journey, instead of the usual 1. Yet, the package includes a whole load of new responsibilities, making it daunting. It seems to me, as if, a person's considered a true adult because marriage is something so serious that u have to be fully responsible for its result/consequence.

Being female, I do wonder when it'll be my turn and at times, I do wish the one announcing the news is me. But I know I'm not being realistic for the fact that I'm not that ready to embark on the new phase and there are too many uncertainties in my life now.

Sigh...I wonder if I'll be saying this again when I hit 30...

OMG! Another friend, Asma, just msged me to tell me she got engaged 2 months ago and will be holding her wedding in August next year (in Yemen?). I'm invited to attend.

Gosh..now that's like one more added to the "Engaged, To be Married, Married) list. And I got this type of shock three times today (etty, sophie, asma).
