11 Things Only Night Owls Will Understand
Business Insider

We all know there are two types of people in this world, those who are up every morning at seven, bright eyed and ready to start the day, and those who are mostly solitary and nocturnal birds of prey, typified by an upright stance, a large, broad head, binocular vision, binaural hearing, sharp talons, and feathers adapted for silent flight. If you belong to the latter community, you'll understand these eleven things. If you don't, you most definitely will not.

1. Having the innate ability to fly almost silently and also more slowly in comparison to other birds of prey.

The turkey vulture ain't got nothing on our skills.

2. Turning your head around up to 270 degrees.

Don't you wish you were part of our exclusive club? Head turns for days.

3. Meeting another night owl who is almost 30 years old and saying, "wow, that's really old" because the average life span of an owl of any species is significantly shorter than that.

Wow.

4. Having disproportionately large eyes in comparison to your skull.

But they're still on fleek, like, every single day.

5. Being unable to move those eyes.

Ocular motor control is for suckers.

6. Having asymmetrical ears.

One ear up and one ear down lets us pinpoint sounds more directly, and find the haters. Watch out.

7. Remembering those awkward years of puberty.

Ugh.

8. Swallowing mice whole.

Bruh.

9. Watching your young cough up the meal you prepared for them and being totally okay with it, because that's perfectly normal for owls.

*hacking sounds*

10. Seamlessly blending into your surroundings with your camouflage feathers.

Haters can't hate what they can't see. And then you jump out at 'em.

11. Never needing nail polish 'cuz your talons look fierce every day.

Yas. Slay. Destroy.

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.
