2021.Worst or Best year?

Looking Forward to 2022?

2020 was the year that everyone wanted to forget, and it's not something that anyone wants to remember because of all the events that occurred in the previous year, and we're getting close to the end of 2021. What have we discovered so far? We have a new president, Joe Biden, who appears to be doing a good job, but not great. He is a better candidate than the last one; no one was a Trump supporter, and if you were, please accept my apologies. However, we finished 2020 on a relatively positive note when we chose Biden as our president and finally acknowledged that quarantine had had many benefits in terms of regulating covid. The year 2021 got off to a good start with the introduction of immunization. The immunization was in the works and would soon be available to the public, but they were, as promised, a little late. But, as the saying goes, "better late than never." Currently, half of the world has been vaccinated, and certain countries still require vaccines. India had the worst incidence of covid 19, and our state was busy discussing vaccinations, quarantine, and whether or not we would have to be isolated. However, no news appeared to be covering those countries that were suffering the worst. Students were then able to attend school in person. Some people, including college students, can attend classes online. Nonetheless, new covid instances appear on a regular basis. Christmas seemed to be warmer than usual, and no one seemed to wonder why. That is a serious issue. Global warming is a major issue, but we seem to be ignoring it because we believe it can't be reversed now. We can do better and change this problem; we won't be able to stop global warming, but we can take steps to prevent it from getting worse. Even though we are nearing the end of 2021, there are still issues. Winter has arrived. There has been a rapid increase in the number of covid cases; at least thousands are affected each day, and now we have omicron on top of it all. More vaccines and booster doses are required. Is 2021 a fantastic year or one of the worst? It is in the middle. It is a step behind 2020.

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.
