1. Home cooked meals

Three months of no dining hall food: my taste buds can hardly believe it.


2. Unlimited mom hugs

The ones you always wanted when you got your grade back after a bad midterm. Gotta make up for lost time.


3. Weather I can deal with

I just want some weather that I'm used to.


4. Friends!!!

Time to catch up on every crazy thing that's happened to you in the last nine months. It'll take you the full summer to get every story.


5. My bed

The comfort of a good mattress and not just a mattress topper.


6. Pets

I can finally cuddle my cat and secretly let my dogs sleep on my bed again.


7. Sleeping in

Lord knows I can't do this at school. I will make it my goal to get back all of the hours I missed out on.


8. My car

I mean yeah I'm tired from not sleeping, but I'm also tired of having to find a ride all the time. My beautiful car has been sitting in the driveway all this time and I cannot wait to be back behind the driver's wheel.


9. Cable

No more waiting for things to come out online or on Netflix. I can finally watch my tv shows when the rest of the world does and not have to avoid spoilers on social media.


10. Local restaurants

The worst part about leaving home is losing my "loyal customer" status to my favorite food places. I have every intention of achieving this level once again.


11. Reuniting with my family

Siblings and parents and whatever else you have or don't have. It's nice when everyone is back together and can be weird together once again.

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.
