Fate Doesn't Happen By Accident...

When the stars align, fate hits you in the face and destiny is there to watch it all happen.

Fate Doesn't Happen By Accident...
Tyler Sanders

Have you ever had a memory that you look back on and all of a sudden...BAM! Destiny, fate, the lining of the stars and planets or whatever you call it hits you in the face? Almost like the kool-aid man coming through the wall next to you and saying "OH YEAH. THAT'S SOME GOOD DESTINY THERE!" Cause we all know that's how it works.

Whether it's how you met your other half, best friend, someone you call family, got a certain job or maybe just had some lucky moment. We've all been there. We've all realized that after some chain of events (usually crappy ones), something good happened. Something we cherish and will never forget.

Maybe it was a hard relationship(s) that set you straight to find someone who has fixed everything in life. They became your knight in shining armor and swept you off your feet. Showing you a whole new world and opening up your heart to something new. They brought you a feeling of bliss that you thought you understood before. Fate brought you to this person.

Or was it you playing your cards right to have a certain outfit on or maybe go somewhere at the perfect time. You ended up finding something that made your bad days turn around. It was almost as if you pulled the golden ticket that day. It was the stars aligning.

What if it was a chain of events from meeting one person to the next and so on. Maybe that one person has helped you change your life around for the better. That person opened up so many opportunities that would still remain a fantasy if you never said "hello" to them. That's your destiny.

We always here blah blah it's in your cards, it's your fate, it's your destiny. Well, it's true. Maybe we don't all believe in that hooblah that some fortune teller would tell you. Or believe in luck, superstition and card readings. But out of all of it, this is something you have felt.

Destiny, fate or whatever you decide to believe it to be, it will always find a way into your life and when you remanence on everything just be thankful the stars picked you that 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?

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?

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.
