A day in the Life of Adult Me

Plans will obviously change and real life will happen, but right now this is what I want my life to look like one day.

First, I will have miraculously become a morning person and I jump out of bed at the crack of dawn to eat breakfast and go feed all of my lovely animals. These animals will include four chickens, three dogs, two goats, a cow, a pig, and a horse. They all have names as well and after feeding and doing whatever they need I go inside and get ready for work with my dogs following close behind.

After getting ready for work I brew myself a cup of coffee and hit the road. My job is at the police station, I am not a police officer however. I am a crime scene investigator and aspiring criminal analyst. Forensic science being my passion will allow me to jump around in jobs because of how broad the field is.

Returning home from work I will change clothes and once again go tend to the animals. Animals, being the second love in life, I spend a great deal of time with them. While visiting with my animals I may pick some fresh vegetables from my garden. This garden is full of various fruits and vegetables of the season. Along with a beautiful array of flowers including sunflowers.

With a basket full of fresh vegetables I can start to make dinner. While making dinner I'll watch the news and set the table. After eating my amazing dinner I retire to the couch to work on a case file from work, put together a puzzle, watch a movie, play with my dogs, or do whatever crosses my mind before I head to bed.

Before going to bed I clean up my mess from dinner or any mess around the house, take one last swing through the barn to check on my animals, and lock up the house. I then fall to sleep to do it all over again the next day.

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.
