Dear Professors, I'm Sorry

Just some of the things I am truly sorry for.

Dear professors,

Forgive me, professors, for I have sinned. I apologize for not attending class on a regular basis and for coming in 15 minutes late with coffee in my hand when I did show up. Additionally, I apologize for showing up often hungover because of making the choice to go to Rounders and blackout the night before. It's not so much that I didn't care about your class because I actually really did, I just seemed to lack motivation for wanting to leave my bed and such an un-Godly hour of the day. Considering you posted your entire lecture on Blackboard I personally didn't find it to be a priority to rise from the dead unless it was a test or quiz day.

I want to also take this time to apologize for never submitting my assignments on time. In the beginning, I was still getting used to being on Central Time...not like that was really a valid excuse because then it would've been turning it in early, but that's not the point. The point is I have a bad habit of procrastinating and I truly apologize for it.

I'd also like to apologize for giving you the absolute wrong answer to the question you asked. I know you literally told me it less than two seconds ago. But I am literally half asleep, and I have a very short attention span. Truthfully I honestly forgot what class this even was. I promise if you ask me again in about five minutes after I google it once again, I will most likely, maybe, possibly give you an answer that is some-what correct. (I did say maybe)

But I do in fact appreciate you not only giving me full credit for turning in my paper 3 weeks late but even extra credit. Thank you for understanding that sometimes I had my friend bring my clicker to class for me in order to mark me here for attendance on the days I just couldn't drag myself out of bed. Lastly, thank you for putting up with my BS all semester. You truly deserve a medal for not only being able to handle me, but for allowing me to get away with everything I did... you are the true MVP!!

Sincerely,

The student who always showed up late with coffee

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.
