Let's be real. Everyone hates Finals Week. It's the last week of the semester, and the weather is (finally) nice out. The absolute last thing I want to do right now is to spend the week studying for exams that I'm going to forget entirely the moment I finish them.

I'm sure you can relate. Here are thirteen things I'd rather be doing than studying for final exams right now.

1. Suffering a head-to-toe sunburn.

Hey, at least I'd be out in the sun, right?

2. Sitting still for a week straight getting a tattoo.

The end result would be totally worth it.

3. Filing my nails.

I may be in the minority, but I can't stand that feeling.

4. Banging my head against a wall repeatedly.

I mean, finals make you want to do that anyway.

5. Piercing every single one of my appendages simultaneously.

At least the pain wears off eventually.

6. Watching all of the Lord of The Rings movies.

I hear some people actually do this for fun.

7. Listening to nothing but NPR for a week.

Maybe I'd still learn something.

8. Listening to "Shut Up And Dance" by Walk The Moon on repeat for 24 hours.

I absolutely cannot stand that song.

9. Eating nothing but spinach for a week.

Okay, a week might be pushing it. A day, for sure.

10. Be stuck on Disney's "It's A Small World" ride for a whole day.

Not the greatest ride to be stuck on, but it's still Disney World, right?

11. Doing 1,000 pushups.

Yeah, I'm not in great shape.

12. Getting every single one of my teeth pulled.

And I hate the dentist. And, obviously...

13. SLEEPING!

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
