2 Years Ago 2 Years Ahead

A story of the crossroads ahead of me

2 Years Ago 2 Years Ahead
Flyingflyingflyingaway

2 years ago on June 14th 2014, I graduated High School. On May 6th 2016 I finished my sophomore year of college, 2 years of college. On May 12 2018 ( at least I think this is the day) I will be graduating/completing my baccalaureate studies. It is weird to think of it this way, I mean I was not aware of this until my then roommate…ok I’m just going to refer to him as my best friend since he was my roommate but he is still my best friend… ((MAT GET BACK ON TOPIC >I) told me this when we were lying on my bed (long story don’t feel like writing it) wondering how the days have gone past us so fast.

I mean, it still feels like yesterday when I got my acceptance email from Hood College, after so many denial letters. That was the start of my cross country journey to explore into the unknown.

I have made so many friends in the past two years. I have created a lot of memories and stories that I will probably never forget (but lets be real here I will probably forget them, I mean I can’t even remember what day of the week it is).

These next two years are going to be interesting. I still have no clue what I am doing with my life…then again I never will so I guess I should stop worrying and focus on getting more sleep.

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

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?

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.
