What Other 18-Year-Old's Are Doing With Their Lives

"Yeah, I can vote."

With the news of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Gabriel Landeskog, Sean Couturier and Adam Larsson staying with their NHL clubs for the year, many people looked at the 18-year-old's and reflected on their own lives. I know I feel like a failure every time one of these kids cracks the line-up or they become my heroes during the IIHF World Juniors, but what about their peers? I can remember being that age and thinking, Sidney Crosby just put up 100+ points in the NHL and I'm shoulder-tapping guys in The Beer Store parking lot to buy me beer so I can drink in a basement.

So what are other 18-year-old's doing with their lives right now? We've got some ideas:

• Waiting in line for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 to come out (with Tyler Bozak)
• Buying a fake ID off a shady character downtown
• Watching a really bad romantic comedy with their girlfriend thinking it will get them to 3rd base
• Signing up for co-ed intramurals at university
• They have shit part-time jobs, but make enough money to drink cheap beer and eat fast food every day of the week
• Spending more time on Facebook and Twitter than they do with actual people
• They have a friend that is a little weird, but has a car so he's one of their closest friends
• Getting high and going to see Paranormal Activity 3
• They don't do dishes at home, but they know how to flip cups
• Being forced into dressing up as Edward from Twilight for Halloween for a couples costume idea, thinking it will get them laid.
