1. “We didn’t realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun” –Winnie The Pooh.

You’ll remember the ‘little things’ a lot more clearly than you think you will. A simple drive to somewhere scenic after the sun has set, spending the night in each other’s dorms, or even just goofing off and doing homework together; don’t take for granted the seemingly insignificant time you get to spend with your friends.

2. "Let’s start by taking a smallish nap or two…” –Winnie The Pooh

I took naps for granted before I started college, but now my eyes have been opened. Whether it be 20 minutes or 2 hours, a nap’s a nap and I’ll take them all. As a way to escape stress, pass the time before dinner, or just to catch up on sleep, a nap is a magical thing.

3. “Every adventure requires a first step.” – Alice in Wonderland

The first step is always the hardest, but I’ve been trying my best to live without trepidation and just go for it. My first semester has ingrained in me a deep yearning for something more. Life has gifted me a hunger to get the most out of the life I’m living and to never miss the opportunity to partake in something amazing.

4. "Some people are worth melting for.” –Frozen

I’ve met some of the most incredible people in such a short period of time; friends that will last a lifetime and beyond. I’ve discovered if you don’t value someone enough to sacrifice for them, your friendship isn’t on the level it needs to be. I’ve met people who I’d cross oceans for and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s a beautiful thing—having people who mean more to you than your own wellbeing. Learning to care so immensely for people I’ve known for such a short while has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life, and I only hope to see my heart continue to accept people in.

5. "Look for the bear necessities, the simple bear necessities! Forget about your worries and your strife...” -Jungle Book

A simple, content life is all I seek. I have seen the beauty of living a simple, contented life and it’s something I wish to have for the rest of my life. My perspective on life has been changed in such a short period of time, as I’ve abandoned the hopes of being eternally joyous and rather decided that leading a satisfied life is the best thing that could happen to me.

The first half of my freshman year has ultimately been an incredible experience. I’ve learned so much about myself in such a brief period of time and I can’t wait to continue discovering myself.

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?
