21 Life Lessons By 21

As my 21st birthday approaches, I have taken the time to ponder life lessons I have learned in 21 years. The following is a list of 21 life lessons.

1. The grass always seems greener on the other side, but that doesn't mean it is.

2. It is worth it to binge watch that series until three a.m., especially when you are on the series finale.


3. Cake is a breakfast food.

4. So is ice cream.

5. People can be unbelievably cruel.

6. But, they can also be incredibly kind.

7. There's nothing better than a rainy day inside with a book and a hot cup of coffee or tea.

8. Harry Potter is a classic.

9. Cats are the best pets (but dogs are good too!).

10. Starbucks coffee is a worthy investment, especially when it's pumpkin spice season!

11. You can never have too many books.

12. God is always with you, even when it doesn't seem like it.

13.There's a quote from Winnie the Pooh for every occasion.

14. You are never too old for Disney.

15. Puddles are meant to be jumped in.

16. Snowflakes are meant to be caught on your tongue.

17. High School will become just another memory.

18. WiFi is a want, not a need (even though it may feel like a need!).

19. Writing is a worthy pastime.

20. It is always a good time to read a book.

21. Friendships come and go, but they also form when you least expect them.

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.
