The little things matter.

14 Things To Never Forget, You'll Thank Me Later
Emmie Keenan

In my 20 years of being alive, I have learned a lot. Which is amazing considering I'll be here for much longer. When debating what I wanted to write, I decided to share some things I would like the world to never forget. And if you come across this article on your social media, just take away at least one thing on my list.

1. It takes more effort to be a bad person than it does to be a good person.

2. Always trust your parents; they went through it too.

3. Call your grandparents every chance you can.

4. It's okay to sit alone at lunch.

5. You are projected as the people you surround yourself with.

6. Being lazy gets you nothing. 

7. Say your feelings; you never know when that person could be gone. 

8. Once someone shows you their true colors, trust them the first time. 

9. Don't post anything derogatory on your social media. 

10. Moisturize your skin. 

11. Everything happens for a reason.

12. The Bible says, "In the day when I cried out, you answered me. And made me bold with strength in my soul."

13. Your roots define who you are as a person.

14. All things heal with time. 

One of the main things that I personally try to remind myself when I get sad comes straight from a song that was released the year I was born.

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.
