The 8 Stages of Packing

Summer is coming to end and you know what that means. Everyone's favorite activity. PACKING! Yup it's that time of the year where you have to start getting ready to go back to school. You talk about how excited you are to see all your friends and wear all your cute new clothes you bought over the summer. But none of that will happen if you don't pack. Nobody actually packs when they say are going to everyone waits till the last minute. I am definitely guilty of this.

This is how people actually get to packing;

1. You are laying and bed and you tell yourself that in 30 minutes you will start packing.

2. It's been over 30 minutes and you are still bed and you realize you never got up so you give yourself another 30 minutes and then you will really get out of bed this time.

3. Okay so now that you have given yourself an hour to prepare for packing you finally get out bed and start.

4. You take out your bags put them down open them up and say "Why can't I pay someone to do this?"

5. Now that you have begun; you start packing a few shirts, place them in the bag and call it a day.

6. It is now a week later from when you started packing and you realized that you are leaving for school in two days. So now you are overwhelmed and in panic mode since you waited till the last minute.

7. A week ago when you had all the time in the world you were folding your clothes and placing them neatly in your bags. Now that you have two days left you start having a panic attack and throw everything in as fast as you can.

8. Lastly once you finished freaking out and finished getting everything into your bags you realized wow this took me 30 minutes I should of done this a week ago.

After reading this if you haven't finished packing, GET UP AND FINISH NOW!

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?

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.
