Please know I will always believe in you and I am only a phone call, text, or a snapchat away.

Dear My Forever Freshman, I'm Sorry I Left You
Yasmine Bender

Dear My forever freshman,

I know. I know. I left you and I never come home anymore, and we barely keep our snap streak alive. I’m sorry I really I am but I am having the time of my life at college. I understand why my friendships with my upperclassmen friends faded away.

It's because here I can disagree with people and still be friends I don’t have to have the same views as them and we can still be friends without any petty drama. But that being said it doesn’t mean I don’t miss you.

I’m sorry that I snapchat you 40 times a day, I know you are in school but I do it so that I keep you on my best friends list. I know that I don’t reply until weird times because your schedule runs on a different clock than mine. To you midnight is midnight to me it's like 8 p.m. but 8 a.m is definitely 8 a.m. I love seeing your smiling face whenever I can. I will continue to call at random times just to hear your voice so I can pretend that I am not as far away.

This is hard for me too. I miss you guys every day, there are so many things I wish you were here for. But I know that you need to have your time in high school. I know you will hear this a lot but it goes by so fast, I mean to think that I graduated seven months ago is insane. So please slow down you will get here soon enough.

Do I miss high school? No...Not in the least bit, but I do miss the activities. YES!! I miss taking pictures at football games and singing Hamilton in Choir and all the time I got to spend with you guys. But that’s about it. They say you start to find in High School but that’s a lie in my opinion. Here in college, that’s where you find yourself but don’t rush it because life is a lot harder here. You need that in high school to help figure it out.

I am so proud of everything you have accomplished both in and out of school. I can’t believe how much you have grown in the short time I’ve been gone and I can’t wait to watch you continue to blow everyone out of the water whether that be on the stage, in the classroom, or on the court. I want you to remember that even though I’m not there watching you shoot free throws, preform, or rock it on the kit that I am always proud.

Please know I will always believe in you and I am only a phone call, text, or a snapchat away. I may not always have the answer but I will always listen. And when I am home I will always be ready for the tackle hug.

Love,

Momika

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.
