Dear Mr. Forever, Sorry I'm Not Mrs. Perfect

But thanks for sticking around.

Dear Mr. Forever, Sorry I'm Not Mrs. Perfect
Jessica Douglas

When I first met you, I was probably preoccupied with one of the many things on my mind. I guess I got myself together and somehow made you stick around. I will never see what you saw in me, but hey, I'm not complaining. You quickly learned that I am a busy body and that I take on way too many things and sometimes get overwhelmed. I might be a procrastinator; however, I always manage to get everything done.

As we got more serious and it became time to meet your family, you, thankfully, talked me out of the worried anxious mess I became. Every time it comes to meeting your family I will still panic and worry and hope that they will still love me. The reason why is due to the fact that they raised you and know who is best for you. They have also disciplined the gentleman I fell head over heels for. I would never want you to have to choose between them and me.

I don't want to be like other couples who have date night where they get all dressed up and go have a nice dinner once a week or so. I don't like it, so please understand that — yes, a date night would be great occasionally, but I would be perfectly fine with cooking together and watching a movie. Besides I am way to indecisive and picky to find a new place every week. I want us to have our own thing.

However, out of all my faults, please be understanding with my love for animals. I always have and I always will. I know that I don't need any but I want them. Once they have a name it's over, done, and they are mine. You know that if I go to PetSmart, the first section I go to is where the cats and kittens are. I have a soft spot for cats and will want to adopt all of them. Please don't let me and, yes, I will be kind of upset, but I will get over it.

Love always,

Jessica

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?

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.
