Dear Second Semester Seniors

Are YOU ready?

Dear Second Semester Seniors

Dear second semester seniors,

Class of 2017, we've made it this far. Spring Semester Senior year of college is upon us. We are almost done! But then you have that moment of realization "oh sh$@" what the heck I am going to do after school. Ever since you can remember you have had the structure of school, summers off, holiday breaks, it's a good pattern to be in. But we have reached the "unknown" of reality. For many college seniors these thoughts give us a slight panic attack, we start to sweat, heart rates goes up and stress goes out the window. But then we remember we are finally free, no more all nighters, no more cramming for a test, or dealing with frustrating professors, but then we go into the good memories. The friends we've made, the life long memories and jokes, until the cycle starts all over again. Getting stuck in this cycle is where the yikes emoji face comes in handy.

Some of us many be more ready then others but others may need that final push to move on to the next chapter of our lives. And that is the moment you realize all the nagging from your parents and professors has all been worth it. And you know that if they weren't there you might not be where you are today. You have to face reality and get out there.

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.
