So you're about to be on summer vacation. Here are eleven thoughts that you might have leading up to that:

1. Finals Week!

The finish line is in sight and you can see the promised land right in front of you.

2. When School Is Finally Over

Tests are done, books are closed shut, and it is FINALLY summer vacation!

3. Reuniting With Friends From Home


It's been months (maybe even years) since you have seen your old friends and you're just so darn excited!

4. And You Honestly Are Having The Time Of Your Life

Because fun is the only option, right?!

5. Then You Crash

Suddenly the boredom hits, leaving you extremely frustrated.

6. And You Regret Not Taking THAT Job

Maybe you picked the wrong summer job or internship. Maybe you decided to not take one up at all. Either way, part of you is regretting it.

7. You Start Missing All Of Your College Friends

You start remembering all the good times you had with your friends during the year and think "well, I kinda want that again..."

8. Loneliness.


You realize that all your friends on the semester system are back at school while you’re stuck, alone, for another month.

9. Mandatory Fun


You still feel the need to make the most out of the tediously long summer, even if it is starting to feel like a drag.

10. Finally School Is About To Start Again


Books are bought, bags are packed, and you can't be any happier to finally go back to school!

11. And Then A Week Into The New School Year...


...You're back where you started.

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.
