6 Reasons Why I Love To Go Grocery Shopping
WordPress

As a kid, many of us hate to go grocery shopping with our parents or grandparents. I know I did. The whole idea of just trailing behind my mom as she roamed the various aisles and debated between two products and then ended up not getting them just did not interest me at all. Now, I am the complete opposite and I have turned into my mom. Here are ten things that I love about grocery shopping.

1. Roaming Around

I love just walking around and browsing at everything.

2. Looking At Literally Every Product In The Store.

I could spend hours in a grocery store looking at products and trying to figure what the best ones are, if there are good reviews, or if there are any new products that I want to try. It is ironic how I would through a tantrum if my mom did this when I was little but not I do it.

3. It's a Getaway

Honestly, if I am feeling stressed or bored I go to the grocery store. It is so relaxing and calming to me. My time to just not really think about anything and just get things I need or sometimes things I just want. I never think of going to the grocery store as something I have to do. I want to go. I really enjoy it.

4. Getting To Choose My Foods.

I LOVE having the power and control over getting to choose my own foods and what I buy at the store. I like being able to buy healthy foods and then when I am being bad and buy ice cream I can't get mad at anyone but myself when I feel sick because I ate the whole thing in one sitting. It's great.

5. Getting Good Deals

There is nothing better than getting a good deal and saving money on food and products at a grocery store. Buy one get one free? HELL YEA!

6. It's Something To Do.

Time can go by so quickly when grocery shopping. Trust me I have spent so much more time in a grocery store than I thought until I looked at the time on my phone. Just like that, an hour had gone by so fast.

Grocery shopping can be seen as a chore or as a casual fun experience. You make it what you want.

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?

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.
