Answer 1

I love how all teenagers (myself included) think that turning 18 means something magical happens... instead life just continues on (or possibly your parents tell you its time to move out...)

It sounds like you're doing pretty good so don't worry about something "missing" just keep doing what you're doing and get ready for college!

Answer 2

Happy birthday.

Something might be 'missing', but it sounds like you're on the right track. Just keep trying hard at school. When I turned 18, I felt like nothing had changed. In New Zealand you can vote, drink, pretty much do everything at 18, but in the USA you have to wait a bit longer to legally drink, so you may not feel like an adult because of that.
