20 Things I Would Rather Do Than Study For Geography

Why do we need to learn about other countries if I already know so much about my own?

Ever since Elementary school, I've hated any kind of topic that is related to social studies or geography. I personally think it's boring and a waste of time. My major has absolutely nothing to do with geography. I understand we have "core classes" that are mandatory to take, but I cannot stand learning about something I truly have no interest in. My geography class is a lecture hall, and when I look in front of me, there is someone sleeping. I look behind me, there is someone sleeping. I look next to me and of course, there is someone sleeping. Clearly this class is a big yawn. So, here's a list of things that I would rather do than study for geography.

1. Read the dictionary.

2. Drink a jar of blue cheese salad dressing.

3. Put lipstick on while driving over speed bumps.

4. Vote for Hilary Clinton (Let's make America great again.)

5. Try to explain what a "frat guy" is to my grandmother.

6. Eat full pieces of chalk.

7. Study for the ACT again.

8. Be in a ocean full of sharks .

9. Drink a bottle full of vodka, thinking it was water.

10. Shave with sandpaper.

11. My friends spot my mom on a date.

12. Listen to opera for the rest of my life.

13. Be allergic to Chipotle.

14. Bathe in hot sauce.

15. Walk on broken glass.

16. My mom having an Instagram.

17. Give myself my own tattoo.

18. Have eight kids.

19. Memorize the Torah.

20. Be in a coffin with mice that have rabies.

So if you don't enjoy studying for geography, too, you might think these 20 options are better than opening that textbook.

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.
