College?

Being outside of college this year has been the hardest and the best thing that's happened in my life. It's been the hardest for many reasons but one of them is because I miss all my friends and being around community and it's the best because it's brought me a lot closer to the lord and I'm not writing 7 page papers every other day.

I've heard a lot of people talk about how college is not for them and I wonder how many people make it if they don't go, but I discovered that it depends on what dream your chasing , some dreams require college and others don't, what I truly don't understand is how some people just how work jobs at a gas station or a restaurant there whole lives as in working is all they do, so that brings us to this question is college for you ? Are you ok with where you are now ? Did college get you to where you are ? Can you spend your whole life working a job lower than the professional level ?

Or I think a better question to to ask is are you truly chasing your dreams ? See this is why I think people switch there majors so much is because there trying to find something there heart truly desires , why is it that now a days chasing your dreams is a Fantasy? Only people on tv do that or only people with enough money do that ? I think we get lost coming into adulthood when we're trying to find what we truly want or finally get what we want and still are not happy , so I would encourage you to stop stressing your self out with all these questions and stop to think about what you truly want and if you decide on something I am glad I could help.

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.
