12 Thoughts After A Long Weekend

It's always a blessing when you get a spontaneous day off of work or school and you get to ignore all of your responsibilities on what is normally just another boring day, and it's even better when it comes with a holiday where you get to spend time with friends and family, barbecue, or traveling. However, all long weekends come to an end, and eventually you have to return to the world of cubicles, textbooks, and saying goodbye to your friends until next time. And we all know exactly how you're feeling right now:

1. This weekend did not feel long enough.

2. I really need a{nother} vacation.

3. I do not want to be here right now.

4. Did I leave my sunglasses somewhere?

5. How long until my next day off?

6. My wallet did not enjoy this weekend as much as I did.

7. My sunburn didn't either.

8. Why did I waste so much of the weekend sleeping?

9. My inbox has over a hundred emails, did no one else get the memo that this was a long weekend?

10. How am I ever going to answer a hundred emails today?

11. I wonder if I can go home early today.

12. I'm going to go home and pretend it's not over yet.

No matter how you spent your long weekend, none of us are happy it's over. I guess it's time we try and get re-accustomed to normal life, with Netflix and wine instead of fireworks and block parties. At least the next one is only about 10 weeks away, right?

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.
