Countless beach days and summer books have me gazing out to that mysterious ocean so many of us love and wondering why it really would be better to live under the sea. Well, after some logical conclusions, I'm ready to trade in my legs.

1. Shell phones and magic conch shells

Communication just got 1000x more aesthetic.

2. Sea shell bras

3. Or better yet... no bras.

4. Constant mermaid hair

5. You could nap in the bathtub without drowning

6. No need for a summer bod because your curves actually keep you warm

This is just a simple marine mammal fact that I find heart-warming.

7. No legs = No shaving

Having scales never felt so good.

8. You'd be bffs with beluga whales

Look at the precious!

9. AND MANATEES

AKA God's most perfect creature

10. Fresh sushi's probably an everyday thing

The face of someone who knows the sushi is also free.

11. Travel is ridiculously easy

You can literally swim anywhere and you save thousands of dollars on plane tickets!

12. Showers under tropical waterfalls is nbd

13. You can explore the Titanic (and things that have yet to be discovered)

The amount of vintage items you'd find...

14. "Where'd you get that beautiful necklace?" "Oh, a sea witch once stole my voice but it's a souvenir now"

15. Everyone would be hypnotized by your voice

16. Men have to listen when you say no (because you can drown them, obvi)

17. But when you wanted them, it'd be easy.

Because you're a frickin' mermaid?? Who would say no??

18. Everyone would try and take candid photos of you

19. You get to do THIS

There would obviously always be spurts of water accentuating your flowing hair and a perfect rock that jutted out of the ocean for moments like these. Why? Because you're a mermaid.

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.
