First Love

or Can You Name These Song References?


When I see your face, 1

I drink in your eyes, 2

And all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow. 3

Everything seems different; 4

I pray to be only yours. 5

You make me happy when skies are gray. 6

I’m living in a daydream, 7

And no one is ever going to bring me down. 8

I’m yours to keep. 9

You save me from the dark. 10

You’re the only one I see. 11

Where are you going? Can you take me with you? 12

You wouldn’t have to say that you love me. 13

But if you know what you want… 14

I don’t want to hold you back now. 15

Sunday morning, rain is falling. 16

The nights are long alone, 17

No one to comfort me or guide me. 18

Just me and my broken heart. 19

I stare at a picture of you 20

And my heart is heavy. 21

Now the memories are on the wall. 22

I wish, more than anything, 23

That I won’t fall. 24

But as the walls begin to tumble down, 25

I let you go and let the lonely in. 26

I need you, and I miss you. 27

And I think to myself, 28

“Hamerchák shebeynéynu hu ad.” 29

(The distance between you and I is endlessness.)

But I can do it; I’ll get through it. 30

I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be. 31

All I ask of you 32

Is that you don’t forget me. 33

Remember me once in a while. 34

For if I could find a way to see this straight, 35

The one thing that would never change 36

Is that you are the best thing that’s ever been mine. 37

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?

2926
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.
