In a nutshell:

1. Not making eye contact with that cute guy over there because you might actually have to talk to him

2. Disappearing for 3-4 days at a time after being around too many people

3. Not making any new friends until the spring semester

4. Avoiding any and every social event (unless you’re in some sort of club so you’re obligated to be there)

5. Going for walks by yourself in between classes

6. Sitting in your car alone just listening to music and eating snacks

7. Having a crush on the guy who sits next to you but never acknowledging him directly

8. Finally working up the courage to text the guy you like but only under the guise of needing to borrow his notes or textbook

9. Eating alone

10. Noticing a lot of things but never saying anything

11. Being the designated writer / note taker for group projects

12. Downloading tinder as a joke but then instantly loving and hating it

13. Feeling kinda like a badass because no one has you figured out

14. Staying up until 2 even though you have a class at 8:15 in the morning

15. Talking more to professors than other students

16. Writing a list of what college has been like because you’re an introvert (...well, yea.)

17. Trying to be more social but then feeling exhausted

18. Contemplating everything

19. Being awkward af

20. Coming to terms with the fact that you are who you are and that’s okay

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.
