Spring has sprung, the birds are singing, and college kids are dying. April just straight up SUCKS for so many reasons when you're in college...

1. For one, there's a buttload of pollen that attacks your senses and makes it impossible to breathe normally.

2. ALL PROJECTS ARE SUDDENLY DUE IN A 4 WEEK PERIOD.

3. It's a mad dash to get all your required "points" for your extracurricular organizations.

4. Every weekend seems to have something going on...*cough cough* parent's weekend.

5. It starts to get dark way later so you are fooled into thinking it's earlier than it actually is.

6. Going outside to hammock or play frisbee or something is impossible because EVERYONE ELSE wants to do the same things.

7. You're stuck doing all these papers and studying for exams while finals loom over your head.

8. People are graduating and that's sad.

9. No football. :(

10. If you're staying in your college town over the summer, it's a fight to get the best available jobs and summer classes.

11. It's starting to get hot but there are also some chilly days?!

12. Professors start to get crabby cuz they want the year to be over.

13. Summer is so close, yet so, so, so far.

14. The gym is packed cuz everyone's trying to lose those last 5 lbs. for swimsuit season.

15. There's no holiday to get you a measly day off to catch a break.

16. Mosquitoes.

17. CONSTANT STRESS.

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.
