I have spent a majority of my life living in Maumee, Ohio. It is a small little town right outside Toledo, Ohio. It's a great place to live and explore. There are so many little things that represent this town and I want to share them.

1. The Maumee River

This river is the border between Maumee and Perrysburg. The water eventually travels all the way to Lake Erie. It the probably the most well known landmark in Maumee. It is a great place to fish.

2. The Maumee Indoor Theater

This iconic building is located near downtown. They show movies for a low price, host events and is the location for many plays put on by local schools. It is also the inspiration for one of the Maumee Snapchat filters.

3. Downtown

Downtown Maumee is small, but cute. There are so many different shops and restaurants to go to. During Christmastime, the entire downtown is decorated and it looks beautiful.

4. Sidecut Metropark

Located along the Maumee River, Sidecut Park has many attractions for people of all ages. There are trails to hike and bike on. There is a playground for children. In the winter, there is a large sledding hill for people to go down along with an outdoor ice skating rink.

5. The Shops at Fallen Timbers

This the main mall if you live in Maumee. It is a cute little outdoor mall with stores like American Eagle, Dillards, and Victoria's Secret.

6. Fallen Timbers Battlefield

Another park in Maumee is the Fallen Timbers Battlefield, the memorial site of 1794 Battle of Fallen Timbers. There's lots of history there and you mostly like went there for a field trip in grade school.

7. The Andersons

This local store is the perfect place to go buy food and other home items. Everyone knows where The Andersons is and probably know the family who lives in Toledo. But sadly, they will be closing their stores during the summer for good.

8. Maumee Sportsmall

Do you like mini-golf and baseball? I used to go here all the time to play mini-golf and use the batting cages.

9. Lucas County Fairgrounds

Home to the Lucas County Fair in July. It is also the location of the famous Rib-Off where local restaurants sell ribs and host concerts.

10. Wabash Cannonball Trail

This is a 63 mile bike and walking trail that goes through Maumee. It is paved and a beautiful walk that can take you to The Shops at Fallen Timbers or through small towns like Whitehouse, Ohio.

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?

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.
