6 Things to do While You're in High School
Becky Sturgill

High school is usually considered either the best four years of your life or your worst. I personally think that high school is made to sound more scary than it actually is. I have a list of the top ten things I think everyone should do before they leave high school.

1. Be a part of the chant team or cheering section at sporting events

I realize that not everyone is a fan of sports or a fan of being around crowds but, I highly recommend it. I've had so much fun being a part of my schools chant team and honestly nothing compares to it. Don't waste your high school experience by not getting involved.

2. Go to a party

I'm fully aware the the party scene is not for everyone, I get it. The reason this made the list is that I personally feel that everyone needs to have at least one memorable night to look back on. It doesn't even have to be a trashy teenage rager it can just be you and a few friends. Just have fun.

3. Take lots of pictures

When you're an adult with a family it's always nice to look back on all the great memories you had. Take pictures anytime you're feeling happy or having a good time. Those are the memories that will mean the most in the long run

4. Express your feelings

Whether it be your feelings toward your crush or a personal opinion towards something you feel strongly about, expressing how you feel is important. You always end up regretting all the chances you didn't take.

5. BE CONFIDENT

No one wants to be remembered as the person who was socially awkward and didn't talk to anyone. Confidence is sexy, and intriguing. Give everyone something to remember.

6. Leave an impression

Find a way to make your high school remember you for years to come. Write your name on desks, be apart of multiple clubs, get good grades, participate in sports, or just be a charismatic, fun, and exciting person to help your school remember you. You're only in high school once, make it count.

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.
