Almost Time To Go Back To School

I am so ready for summer to be over....

Almost Time To Go Back To School

We are now halfway through August and it is almost time to go back to school. For me, I have a little over a week left before I return before everyone else at my school for sports tryouts. I am both nervous and excited to go back for my second year of college, and cannot wait to see how this year will differ from last year.

One thing I am extremely thrilled about is being able to see the friends I made last year every single day. I have seen a few over the summer, but it is just a completely different environment at school. At school there aren't any towns to cross, or traffic to deal with, because we are all (for the most part) in the same five mile radius. Some of us will be living in the same building, some of us will be living down the hall from each other, and some of us will be roommates.

Returning to my work study at school is also something I am really looking forward to. I work as an office assistant in Bridgewater State University's Music Department. It doesn't sound that impressive as a job since I'm only an assistant, but the staff and faculty of the Music Department are probably some of the most intriguing and wonderful people I have ever worked with. I am so happy that they hired me, and to have included me in their family. As of next year I will be one of two returning student employees, so there will be some new faces around the offices. Anyone who has work study, or not, and needs a job, definitely apply to work in the Music Department, it is well worth it!

As the days before I move back into school grow shorter, I fell like there has been so many things I haven't done this summer. I barely swam this summer, pool, ocean or the bay. Which is a pretty sad thing considering I practically live on the beach (the end of my road is the beach). Now, don't get me wrong, I have definitely been on the beach a lot this summer. i would go straight from work and go take a nap in the sand under the sun. But I seemed to always miss high tide, and being the lazy self I am I would never walk out over the flats to go swimming.

I never went to Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, and I don't really count my trip to Provincetown as going there because I was only there for about two hours. I didn't go hiking as much this summer as I usually do. I didn't go to as many bonfires, I didn't go on as many adventures as I'd like. However, I did spend a lot more time with friends I don't normally spend time with. I reconnected with some people, and I worked so much more than I have in a while. I have had a great summer so far, but it really is time to go back to school.

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.
