There's baby-fever, wedding-fever, engagement-fever — but what about house-fever? Thanks to popular TV channels like HGTV and social media platforms like Pinterest, my desire to own my own home is at an all-time high. In my mind, it's Chip and Joanna Gaines' world and we're just living in it.

With their new collection coming to Target stores soon, I've been staring at the promotional pictures Target released wishing I had my own home to fill them with. But that's not all that's got me wishing I was a homeowner. I'm feeling the house-fever and here are 10 signs you're feeling it, too.

1. You've browsed Zillow relentlessly in all the areas you want to live in


2. You've calculated approximately how much you could afford in a mortgage if you didn't have those pesky student loans to pay off


3. Your Pinterest boards are filled with "My First Home", "DIY for the House" and "Home Decor Inspo" pins


4. New houseware stores excite you


5. The highlight of your week is when your local Home Goods gets their new shipment in


6. Your email inbox looks like an interior designer's coupon paradise


7. You've said the words "Dave Ramsey said..." un-ironically


8. You have strong opinions on bay windows versus picture windows


9. Saturday's are the best days because of all the open houses


10. You SO/family/friends are about to strangle you if you make them watch another all-day marathon on HGTV

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
