Break from College or from Work?

Spring Break is about to officially start, but it's not going to actually feel like one.

Break from College or from Work?

For some of us, Spring Break is actually going to be what Spring Break is supposed to be: relaxing, catching up with friends and/or family, sleeping and etc. While the rest of us, if you are like me, will be coming home for Spring Break, but with homework. Yes it's a sad day because my professors are like you don't have work, but according to the syllabus we have to talk about an assignment the first day we get back which means I have to do "work" over break to prepare for Monday. At least my break is like a week so I can do work and try do to other things as well which would most likely be sleeping.

Spring Break couldn't come any sooner because I'm ready to be done with midterms. Even though I officially only had one, all the quizzes and tests that I have in between doesn't make it any better. But once Spring Break goes, I'll be counting down until May 10th so I can be on summer vacation. Even though it will be a summer of job hunting and working on articles, it will be worth it in the long run. Also the idea of deciding what classes I have to take next semester is going to be a pain planning that out for.

Deciding on classes isn't hard, the hard part is going for the section that have the best time for you, actually getting into that section, making sure not to have too early classes but also at the same not have any late classes. With my major when I have workshops, they are 6-8:30pm so that's going to be fun going to those once a week. At least it's for what I actually like to do, writing stories, but coming up with ideas is another ballgame I have to do. Creativity is one thing, but sometimes my short story ideas turn into long ideas which makes it become more of a novel than a short story. I have plenty of unfinished stories that I'm going to be working on for the summer. That sounds more like a job, but it's all for amusement and for the people who actually read my stories online for their enjoyment.

Lastly, with the month of March and spring break being next week, it's almost my roommate's birthday. I been sending her pics of her favorite kpop idol, thanks to me for finding him for her, starting March 1st and I might officially stop on her birthday March 15, but it won't be fun messing with her anymore so I may continue. I feel so young being a summer baby of '98 with everyone turning 19 before me. I wont be 21 until my last year of college and I barely look like my age now, who knows if I even change in 4 years because I haven't changed much since 8th grade besides glasses and hair wise.

Finally, to everyone that's going to be on spring break, I hope you make the most of it and to everyone who is already on spring break, I hope you are having fun as well!

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.
