12 Things That May Have Happened While You Were Home For Thanksgiving
Glamour

We all know that turkey and mashed potatoes are promised when we head home for Thanksgiving. But, there are always some unexpected things that happen to everyone when they head home for the holiday.

1. Your childhood room changed drastically.

2. You got the "wyd" text from your high school ex around 11pm on Friday night.

3. Your dog seems to have aged ten years.

4. Your lifelong best friends are all in serious relationships, therefore, leaving no time for you to catch up.

5. Your aunts began to include you in the family gossip after dinner (with lots of wine, of course.)

6. Your cousin brought home a new girlfriend and you could immediately tell that the entire family disapproved of her.

7. Your grandpa gave up on attempting to dress nice and sat in the same chair for the entire day.

8. You had a serious conversation with your dad about finances and wondered when you grew up so quickly.

9. Your siblings actually showed some sort of emotion towards your arrival back home.

10. Your mom's new diet really put her on edge.

11. All of your clothes that you left in your closet were thrown in a box that you were forced to look through or else they would be thrown out.

12. You didn't realize for almost 24 hours that your wifi password changed and you had been slowly wasting all of your data.

13. The only thing that didn't change was your uncles drinking beer and watching football for hours on end.

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?
