1. Relax

Give yourself a manicure and pedicure ladies, or maybe deep condition your hair, use a face mask, take a bubble bath. Whatever relaxes you.

2. Brain Work

Flickr

Do a crossword, or a word search, read a book, or maybe get ahead on some homework that we all know you have been procrastinating on.

3. Be Productive

Flickr

Get some cleaning done! Clean your makeup brushes, your bathroom, your room or organize your closet. Go outside and clean out your vehicle!

4. Be Adventurous

There are so many fun and cool things to do. Start your own blog, plan a party, go on a hike, visit a museum, get an idea for your next tattoo, plan your next vacation. Do a photo shoot with your friend or pets, or just start driving go some place new!

5. Do Some Meal Prep

Don't lie: everyone hates the question "what's for dinner?" So plan a few meals in advance. Plan to go out to dinner or search and try out a few new recipes.

6. Get Fit

Flickr

One thing that always makes you feel better is some good exercise. It doesn't have to be a lot, do some yoga, a few sit-ups. You can do anything really!

7. Try Something New

Flickr

What's something you have never done or have always wanted to do? Find a place you could spend some free time volunteering at or look for another job if needed. Start some DIY projects that could turn into a profit.

8. Set Goals

Flickr

It's never too late to dream. Take some time to write down your goals or even what you want out of life the most. Maybe where you are going next. Set your goals and aim high - surprise yourself and get there!

9. Party!

Flickr

Whether you're home alone, with your dog, with your family, or some friends: find some alcohol (or no alcohol who cares about your choice.) Get that perfect playlist out and crank that sh** and dance, sing, or scream. Have some fun!

10. Last, but not least...take a nap.

TAKE A NAP. SLEEP HELPS EVERYTHING!!!!!!!

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.
