First Stop: Surround yourself with those who make you happy. Because life is just too fucking short. As Bob Dylan would say:

"Be groovy or leave, man.

"


Second Stop: Love is cruel, and everyone at sometime in their life plays the fool.

“You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.”

Third Stop: The media lies.

"A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall means something's gonna happen. In the last verse, when I say, 'the pellets of poison are flooding the waters,' that means all the lies that people get told on their radios and in their newspapers."


Fourth Stop: Humility is a truly great quality to have. The strongest people I know have shown it in the quiet corners of the day when no one was watching.

"I think it's wrong for a person to talk about themselves. A person's life speaks for itself. If you've done good things people will spread the news, and if you've done bad things people will spread the news too."




Fifth Stop: You can write a poem and be a poet or...

"You don't necessarily have to write to be a poet. Some people work in gas stations and they're poets. I don't call myself a poet because I don't like the word."



Sixth Stop: Money isn't everything.

"You can have the best there is. But it's gonna cost you all your love. You won't get it for money."


Seventh Stop: Keep that inner child inside of you, forever.

"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."


Eight Stop: The friends that are for life are the ones that are always by your side in the worst moments of your life and the friends who leave:

"got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend. When I was down you just stood there grinnin'."


Ninth Stop: Pain really is beauty.

“Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.”


Tenth Stop: Life is like a train. On the journey, you lose yourself and yet find something new about yourself. We all get lost sometimes.

"Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost. "

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
