Do I really even have anything else to learn?

19 Thoughts I Had On My First Day of My Last Semester
MSECND

I cannot believe that after 16 years, I’m finally done with school. Here are a few thoughts I had on the first day back to class, for the last time.

1. Do I really need to buy supplies? I think I have a few pieces of paper here somewhere. *Fishes through 4 years worth of gum wrappers at bottom of backpack*

2. Wait, I’m already walking to class but I actually have no idea which building it’s in.

3. Awh, look how happy those people are. They must be freshman.

4. Remember how stressful I though freshman year was? LOL.

5. It’s funny how I used to drink coffee just because it tasted good.

6. I wonder how late I have classes today? I honestly don’t even know what I’m taking.

7. Wow, that girl is wearing heels. Ambitious.

8. I don’t think I even remembered to put on deodorant.

9. Who cares, these people know me for what I am – trash.

10. Oh! The club fair is tonight, maybe I should go.

11. Wait, no. Why would I join a club now after 3.5 years of being happily uninvolved.

12. Actually, why am I even here, I’ve learned all I gunna learn, just give me the piece of paper already.

13. ….But I really haven’t though.

14. Oh my God, there’s so much I don’t know.

15. OMG I am leaving here in four months and I know nothing.

16. I still have to call my mom to ask how to pay my bills.

17. I’m actually not ready.

18. *Watches freshman chug gallon of milk on the lawn while onlookers Snapchat it*

19. Okay, maybe I am.

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.
