one of my classmates said this to me my sophomore year of high school and it was so deeply out of form for a fifteen year old trying to cook another fifteen year old everyone present kinda just paused and went "wait, what?"
it still haunts me to this day he lowkey got my ass with that one, if not for a strategically placed "whatever, man" that shit could have been *catastrophic*

my freshman year of high school i went to a new school and i didnt know how to do school well bc i have learning disabilities. it was an academically rigorous traditional school and i forgot to do my homework bc i was bad at planning ahead and like generally keeping track of things. anyway like the first week of this new school i get to class and got called on about the homework and i had to say in front of the class that i forgot. this teacher was known to be an odd ball/old school and he yelled at me and sent me out of class and asked me and told me only to return when i was prepared and ready to learn. needless to say i was stunned and packed up my stuff and ran out crying. i mean i was literally like 14.
this then became the folklore everyone told new students about this teacher and it got passed down but no one realized it was me and when i became like a senior i would tell freshman and they were like that was you?!?!
anyway this teacher years later got clocked for sexual misconduct and buying kids alcohol lol

We had an AP biology teacher who according to rumor and anecdotal observation over the years would always seat girls with the biggest chests in front (you know I was seated in the veryyyy back).
As a vegetarian I conscientiously objected to dissecting squids and he said that was fine but that he would give me an alternate activity which is standard practice. The alternate activity was that he had me clean the squid guts off of the lab tables (which were also our desks) as people sat there and had them watch in silence. He gave live commentary as I cleaned and I eventually burst into tears from the embarrassment. People were actually so sweet and came up to me later and apologized that I had to go through that and a petition went around to get him fired.
The petition was unsuccessful but he was later fired because he got caught WATCHING PORNOGRAPHY ON HIS SCHOOL COMPUTER DURING SCHOOL HOURSSSSS!!!!!!

the idea that you can only fuck up and express and be beautiful and destructive and explorative and constructive in your youth is simply a myth. you are going to continue to fuck up and you are going to continue to blossom. there's no linear path and structure on that. even people in their 50's completely change their entire lives. nothing is fixed and there is no path to follow.
your life isn't over until it's over.
this narrative that once you start to age you can no longer explore and express is an oppressive, capitalist, and intentional one. also, it's just not true.
your responsibility doesn't have to be boring or restrictive. the reason why you become more responsible is because you actually care about yourself. irresponsibility isn't the same as freedom. irresponsibility can be "fun" but also destroys you. having more responsibilities to keep yourself safe and cared for isn't the antithesis to fun and life and expression.
your feelings make sense though. in college it's easier to meet people and try new things. but ease doesn't translate to quality or longevity or intrigue. but funny enough, there are 30 year olds now that probably feel the exact same way about you as you feel about the people slightly younger than you.
there is no such thing as free years in terms of spirit.
expression and exploration is available in all forms at all ages. there are always places to go, hikes to walk, friends to laugh with, mistakes to make, good food to eat, art to create, fights to have, things to fail at, lessons to be learned, and love to be felt.
you're only 23. you're about to enter a new chapter of your life where you will fuck up and you will have stories to tell, adventure to explore, feelings to express, and people to love. and that is something that will always be true.
