30 Names I Will Probably Regret Giving My Children
HAFHA

A lot of us millennials have been against the idea of having children. We say we don't want to introduce a child into our problem-filled and crazy lives. Despite what we say, we eventually bring a child into this world and struggle to raise it with high morals and confidence. One of the first things a child learns is his or her name. How are they supposed to be raised with confidence if they are teased or talked about because of this name? For the children we do bring into this bright world, naming them should be the least stressful thing we do. Here is a list of thirty names I have personally encountered and chosen to make this process a little less stressful.

The following names are just out of date...

1. Gertrude

2. Bita

3. Willard

4. Evelyn

5. Hamlet

And you probably shouldn't name your child after alcohol...

6. Tequila

7. Chardonnay

Or a surname...

8. Mister

Most of the names that make up this list are those that will be teased by what they sound like or the common nicknames made for them...

9. Gaye/Gayle

10. Moysten

11. Mort

12. Shiwanah

14. Richard

15. Adolfo

16. Harry

17. Rusty

18. Misty

19. Ahmiricle

20. Ikea

21. Younique

22. Dreshawn

23. Maximum

24. Rambo

25. Monica

26. Anass

27. Fartika

28. Marquese

29. Angel

30. Destiny

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?

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.
