Returning to School After Summer Vacation

And so it begins.

Returning to School After Summer Vacation

In just one week, I will be starting my senior year of college.

There are lots of mixed emotions that come with that transition back to Tennessee, but ultimately I am ready to see what will come next for me.

When I go back to school, I will be leaving a lot of things behind-- like my great family, my handsome boyfriend, my best friend, and a town that holds my memories...I will miss these people greatly, but there are some other things that will take some getting used to when I'm gone.

1. My big comfy bed.
The twin size half inch thick mattress in my apartment just doesn't cut it some nights.

2. Home-cooked meals and dinners that I don't have to pay for.

3. My bathroom.
It's so nice and private.

4. Being able to drive around without fearing a 25 dollar parking ticket.

5. A bedroom floor that is big enough to make a mess in.

6. My sweet, sweet puppy.

7. The lack of homework I currently have.

8. Sleeping in until 10 every morning without having to worry about being late for class.

9. The convenience of having my laundry done.

10. My favorite Mexican restaurant.

11. My job and money supply. We all know that won't last long.

12. Having time to read for pleasure-- even though I didn't partake in it as much as I should've or wanted to, it was nice knowing I had the time.

I am excited for the adventure that is within College and Senior year, but Home is where my heart is and will be this semester.

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?
