Has there ever been a day in your life where you wake up in the morning, eager to start your day, because you have so many exciting things to do or an event to go to that night? You rush home from work, throw on the outfit you’ve been dying to wear and make sure your makeup looks flawless. As soon as you’re about to head out the door…

Wait — something goes wrong (God knows what) and that thrill goes away because the plans you’ve made and have been looking forward to just got cancelled, last minute of course. And then your left making excuses, like maybe you should just go out again next weekend, or the timing of for these plans were never right. Eh, it happens to the best of us… In fact it happened to me last night. So here are eight things to do when the plans you’ve been looking forward to don’t seem to go just as planned:

1. Go Shopping.

A little retail therapy never hurt anyone did it? Except for your bank account, of course.

2. Take a road trip.

Just get in your car and drive… and listen to the 2010 party playlist CD that you had made in the eigth grade.

3. Go to the movies.

"Finding Dory" just came out and it’s honestly the cutest movie ever and a must see no matter your age.

4. Plan a vacation.

Why not book a trip somewhere exotic like the Bahamas or Bermuda!? Hopefully you find a great deal on flights and a hotel and hopefully this trip won’t get cancelled!

5. Exercise.

Burn some calories! Sweat! Go to the gym and put in work… and make use of the this extra time that has been put on your hands!

6. Sleep.

Or you could just snooze off a few calories, maybe?

7. Go to Outback Steakhouse.

I don’t know about you but when I get hangry (hungry and angry, duh) I’m usually always craving a Bloomin' Onion from Outback… plus Outback Steakhouse never fails me. So it’s a win, win. No loss here!

8. Climb to the top of the world

Be spontaneous why dontcha?

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.
