Always My Mother, Forever My Friend
Love of mom

Dear Mom,

I know having a child in college was not your plan. I do not even know if having kids were in your life plan. By getting pregnant with me, I know you were put in many difficult decision for example keeping me or finding a different way out. You knew from the beginning my father would not be there. You knew your so called friends would leave. You knew continuing college would be difficult. You knew some of your freedoms would be gone. None of those things changed your mind about keeping me. I want this time to tell you thank you. We had our fights but never once did I regret you being my mother. Thank you for not strangling me on our bad days even though I know the only reason you did not was the fact you would go to prison. Thank you for loving me even though some days you couldn't stand me because you could not go to that party or out with friends. Thank you for putting up with me when I would not go to bed and wanted you to read the 20th book of the night. Thank you for staying up late with me when my nose decided to bled for hours. Thank you for all the stuffed animals I wanted but did not need . Thank you for being there whenever I called. Thank you for supporting me even though you did not always like too aka dance competitions. Thank you for caring about everything maybe a little to much sometimes. Thank you for the animal battles where our room would be destroyed even though it always was. I could say thank you for so many other things too but I believe I have made my point. So in conclusion, thank you mom and I love you more than you believe!

With all my love,

Your Daughter

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
