Count Your Blessings

Do not take for granted what life has given you!

I have been very blessed in my life. I have wonderful friends, an amazing family, and a wonderful life. I have been given many opportunities in life that I am very fortunate to have been given. But, I haven’t always been thankful for them like I should have been. So many people don’t even have a warm home to go to. I have taken for granted everything that life has given me.

I’ve decided to stop being ungrateful, and to start thanking God for every day that He has given me. I have so much to live for and to aspire to attain, and it is about time to be appreciative. I am able to go to college, which many people are not. I have been given the opportunity to go to school to educate children. I have been given the chance to write for a wonderful publication that I strongly and completely believe in and love. I am blessed beyond compare.

From now on, I am going to be appreciative of what life has given me. I am going to go on more adventures. I am going to start spending more time with my family. I am going to spend every day of my life being grateful and happy. Most people would kill for what I have in life and it is about time that I realize that.

I can’t thank my family enough for loving me. And I can’t thank my friends enough for always being there for me. From now on, I am going to work hard to make the people in my life as happy as they have made me. I am going to stop and count my blessings and be happy with the life I have. I have a roof over my head, loving people surrounding me, amazing opportunities, and a lifetime of happiness to enjoy. All I ask is that the people in my life give me time to truly be the best that I can be. I am going to make you all proud, just you wait.

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?

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.
