30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go On A Spring Break Diet

This could take awhile...

30 Things I'd Rather Do Than Go On A Spring Break Diet
Alive Campus

Someway, somehow, Spring Break is rapidly approaching. Eight entire days of nothing but beaches, sun, sand, drinks-- and bathing suits. Normally, there's a bit more time to mentally prepare before having to slip into a bathing suit, but this year, the days are escaping a little too quickly for my liking.

Last week as I was eating my weight in mac and cheese, or drinking my weight in Bud Lights/vodka sodas, my mind flashed to the bathing suit sitting in my closet, and the all too close date of when I'd have to put it on. Should I cut back on the chicken cutlets? Maybe limit my alcohol intake? Should I be on a spring break diet? And then, something fantastic happened. Just as quickly as that thought had entered my head, it disappeared, as if it never existed in the first place.

And then I started laughing to myself. Because the more I thought about it, the more I realized I'm going to enjoy this life (and my body!) while I have it. So there are quite a few things I'd rather do than go on a Victoria's Secret Angle-esque diet before spring break:

1. Finish another series on Netflix

2. Take a (much-needed) nap

3. Organize the mountains of clothes piling up in my closet

4. Accidentally like a picture of your ex-boyfriend's sister's best friend from four years ago

5. Wear nothing but crocs for the rest of my life

6. Look for all the bobby pins I've lost over the years

7. Wash my car by hand

8. Go to the dentist

9. Step on a Lego

10. Shave one eyebrow

11. Get my haircut by a toddler

12. Have a hangover for three weeks straight

13. Be trapped in my freshman philosophy class for an entire day

14. Dry shave my legs

15. Wear a groufit for the rest of my life

16. Be forced to use a dorm bathroom for the rest of my life

17. Do the cinnamon challenge once a week for the next year

18. Sit through an opera

19. Join Farmer's Only or Christian Mingle

20. Lose all of my phone contacts

21. Have someone countdown each minute until graduation

22. Listen to an entire playlist consisting of entirely of recordings of my own voice

23. Go on a juice cleanse

24. Drink nothing but Four Lokos every time I go out

25. Lose all of my leggings/yoga pants

26. Never use hot sauce again

27. Pierce my own ear

28. Drunk text every contact in my phone

29. Be a contestant on "The Bachelor"

30. Not go on spring break

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.
