Just relax!. You have to become responsible but that is no different that what you have been doing!. You have always had to get up in time for school, brush your teeth, get dressed, gather your belongings and get going!. Life is more of the same in different flavors!. You take it day by day and follow your heart!. Each decision you make will create a need to make another decision so don't get bogged down with the details!.
