An Open Letter To My Big

Disclaimer: All of the relationships I've made within my sorority mean the world to me but I want to focus on one in particular - my relationship with my big.

Notorious B.I.G. -

First off, thank you for helping me forge my own path; while including me as a part of yours. Thank you for teaching me that it's okay to rely on other people when you can't figure it all out alone. Thank you for enhancing my experience within our own sorority and helping me take advantage of the many opportunities I never would have thought to explore. Thank you for not only being someone to support me, but someone to push me. Thank you for setting the bar high and helping me do the same. Thank you for accepting me as my own person and giving me short-cuts and helpful advice; but also goading me to figure it out. Thank you for showing me that our sorority is so important, but the lessons we learn from it are more important: outside of these four years. Thank you for seamlessly being both a friend and a mentor; making sure I don't take myself too seriously but also being there when I need serious help. Thank you for being a human being and admitting your faults, so you can help me work on mine.

Finally - thank you for being an outstanding g-big to my rock-star little (shout-out)

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?

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.
