On a Tropical Island

What better way to feel like you are on a tropical island then a smoothie? There are numerous smoothie places to choose from on campus, but one of the best is Jamba Juice. There are so many choices to choose from and you can pick which everyone you would like. You can pick from mango smoothies to strawberry or pineapple smoothies. There is every sort of fruit you would like to eat from all over the orld and from every tropical island. The energy bowls at Jamba Juice will make you feel like you are eating breakfast in front of an expansive ocean. Pairing the energy bowl with a fresh squeezed juice will make you feel like the ocean is right next to you.

Roaming around Japan

From the first steps into the restaurant, you will feel like you have transported across the land and ocean to Japan. The restaurant is called Sakanaya in Champaign. The miso soup will warm your soul on a cold winter day when you really need to get away from studying and take a break. The classic rolls are great if you want something light and don’t want anything adventurous. When you want adventure and want the real experience of being transported to another country, try some of the signature rolls. There is even food for the non-sushi lovers. They have noodles as well as other entrees that will blow your mind with how delicious they are.

Say "Ciao" to Champaign and "Hello" to Italy

Minneci’s in Champaign has some of the best pasta I have ever had. You can either be transported to Italy at the restaurant or have Italy delivered right to your dorm or apartment. I have only had Italy delivered to my dorm, but it is like bringing Italy to your room. The smells fill your room with the scents of Italy. You can have all your favorite Italian foods brought right to you in this little town called Champaign.

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?

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.
