1.) My family

One of the things I will miss the most about home is seeing my family everyday and although I have not even moved in yet, I am already excited to see them again.

2.) Home-cooked food

Although Endicott's dining hall has excellent food and many choices, I am going to miss my moms cooking from time to time.

3.) My dogs

I am going to miss my two best friends more than anything when I go off to school, they have been by my side for all of high school and I wish I could bring my pups to school with me :(

4.) My bed

Although I am planning on making my bed at school as comfy as possible, there is nothing like getting in my bed at home after a long day.

5.) Being a 10 minute car ride away from my best friends

Moving in last has made me miss my friends more than ever. As I see pictures of them starting their new life it makes me really miss being a 10 minute drive from them.

6.) Having my own bedroom

Although sharing a space with new people is all part of the experience, I will miss having my own personal space where I can go by myself and have all of my personal belongings.

7.) Not sharing a bathroom

This is definitely something I am going to miss a lot, having my own space for all of my cosmetics and belongings and being able to use the bathroom whenever I want will be missed.

8.) Access to my own car

Being able to have the freedom of driving my own car whenever I want is a blessing, and I look forward to being able to drive again when I come home for breaks.

9.) Free laundry

Not paying for laundry and being able to do laundry whenever I want will definitely be something I miss a lot, but I look forward to becoming more independent and doing it on my own.

10.) My local coffee shop

I will miss the ability to be able to drive down to my local coffee shop and grab a bagel or a smoothie (not a coffee drinker) whenever I feel like it.

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.
