When do we grow up?

So, I turned 18 1 month ago today. 18! I'm legally an adult, but I still feel as lost as I did at 14. When do we find ourselves? When are we finally introduced to the person we're destined to be? Why is it that it seems everyone around us (even our own age) has it together while we're barely hanging on?

College is fast approaching and I feel like I'm walking into the lion's den. Now, I know some of my jitters are normal, but I can't help but fear that I won't be able to settle into my new life. I'm worried about how I'll fare on my own, in a new city, without my friends and family. I'm scared that my lack of personality (as I see it) will cause me to yet again be an outcast; this time though, I'll spend 120k to be that outcast.

I just don't know. How do you become comfortable enough with yourself to realize that you ARE being yourself? How do you accept the fact that you may not be as exciting as the next person or that you've got quirky hobbies?
