It seems as if the farther you are away from home, the more things you forget. And when your last final is at 8 p.m. Thursday and you need to leave your dorm at noon on Friday, you're bound to forget some stuff.

1. Your computer charger

And if you're the only one in your family with a mac, you're screwed.

2. (Just one) of your Bean boots

The right one's in your duffel bag. The left one is in a dark corner underneath your twin XL.

3. Your "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party" sweater

Guess it'll just have to sit in your closet until may.

4. All those snacks that are going to go stale before you get back

Shit! Could've eaten those during the car ride home.

5. A scratch-off worth $3 you got in some state you drove through on your way back to school in August

One of these days I swear I'm gonna cash that in at an Indiana 7-11. I swear.

6. Every single ounce of motivation you had during the semester

Yeah, I think I'm just gonna sit here, eat cookies and watch the Twilight Zone new year's marathon, thanks.

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.
