Just because you're not going out of town doesn't mean you can't have as much fun as everyone else.

6 Spring Break "Staycation" Ideas

Spring Break is just around the corner, and just because you aren't going out of town doesn't mean you have to be sitting at home all week. There are so many things to do, you just have to actually get out and do them. Netflix is always acceptable, but try to be a little more spontaneous every now and then!

1. Go hiking

There are so many hiking trails in the Atlanta area; one for every level hiker. Whether you can hike half of a mile or five, I can assure you there is a hiking trail out there that you'd enjoy.

2. Bike the Atlanta Beltline

This is the perfect outdoor activity for a big group of friends or even for the whole family! Don't worry if you if you don't have a bike; you can rent one.

3. Have a picnic in Piedmont Park

If the weather is nice (which you won't know until the day of since we live in Georgia), pack a lunch and head to Piedmont Park for a nice picnic! You'll have a beautiful view of the Atlanta skyline, and if you go in the evening, you have a chance of seeing a gorgeous sunset.

4. Go to Andretti

Even if it rains, you still won't be bored thanks to Andretti. They have a huge go-carting track, a long zip line, a ginormous arcade with tons of games and so much more. It's absolutely impossible for you to get bored there.

5. Walk around Ponce City Market

Walking around Ponce City can be an enjoyable experience for anyone, even without buying anything. Everything about it is so unique, which makes it so fun to just walk around and look at what they have.Sometimes they even have a mini golf course on the roof!

6. Skyview Atlanta

Skyview Atlanta is basically the same thing as the London Eye. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but you definitely need to go if you haven't! Or even if you have, it never hurts to go again. It can be a day time or night time activity, depending on whether you want to see what all of Atlanta looks like in the day or what it looks like lit up at night.

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.
