I Crossed The Rainbow Bridge: A Pet's Letter To Their Owner

I'm sorry I had to leave you

Hello my human!

It's me, your pet!

I know you miss me human, but
don't worry about me. I know you are sad because I went away from my home. But please don't be mad at me! I miss you a lot and I want to give you so many kisses. Once I left you, I ran across a bridge to my new home. I love it here! There are all of these different colors, meadows for me to run around, places to climb, and lots of other animals who are just like me! I am never tired, and I have so much food and water. I even have my favorite treats that you always put on the top shelf. Guess what, Human? I can reach them now and I have endless supplies!

I'm sorry I was too tired and weak to play with you before I left. I wanted to run after that ball, and I wanted to watch the birds in the window. I really wanted to lay on my back and watched as you scratched my belly. Human, you always knew just the right spot to rub! I really loved hiding your socks and your toys the best. I miss doing that here.

Towards the end, I didn't like to snuggle much either because I didn't want you to realize I had been skipping my meals. I just was not hungry—not even bacon sounded good. I used to have a hard time fitting in my bed, and now I was so tiny that I could do so with such ease. I kept sleeping because I hoped I would feel better once I woke up. I would have given anything to play together. Human, I especially loved when you would tug on my rope. You were always so good at that game.

I'm not sick anymore here. I like to run and jump and play with other pets who are like me. But the best part of my new home is that it has all of my favorite memories from my old home! I have my favorite toys here, my bed, and even pictures of you!
You gave me a good life at home. I never went hungry and I never wanted to run away (well, I know that I almost did one time, but that was because I smelled bacon! You know how much I love bacon).

Human, they tell me here that one day, I will get to see you again! When I see you I will lick your face and give you so many kisses! We can play together, and you can scratch my tummy with two hands! I always had so much fun with you. We can play together everyday when you come visit me. They have a nice tree up here where we can sit. It looks like our tree at home. I think you would like to sit there with me!

Until then, it is okay if you get another pet like me. I know you must be lonely, but don't worry about me getting mad. I had such a happy life with you and I want you to make some more pets very happy! They can even have all of my favorite toys. I have some toys up here with me, so they can keep my old ones!

Thank you for being such a good owner to me. I love you lots!

I will see you soon, human!

- Your Pet

P.S. I hid your favorite socks under your bed.

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.
