It's the middle of August and you still have some time before school starts and it feels like you have nothing to do. DO NOT FEAR! Here's a list you might want to check off.

1. Plan a day trip either by yourself or with friends. It can be to eat out, do some shopping or if you're on a budget go to a park just to enjoy the view.

2. You still have time to binge watch the last few episodes or the season of the show you have been watching through the summer.

3. Go outside and get some fresh air. Before you know it you'll be inside in classes all day.

4. Drive around or if you don't have your permit or drivers license. Plan to save and make an appointment to be able to drive before the year is over.

5. You already see signs of fall coming with stores displaying pumpkins and autumn leaves. Think what you are going to be doing for those holidays that will be here before you know it.

6. Do plan to hang out with friends you won't be able to see again until 2 months. You will be glad you did so and won't miss them as much.

7. Finish that summer playlist and always look for new music. Appreciate the big and small artist and their works.

8. Even though your mind loathes the idea of school. You're ready for the year to start. All the new supplies for classes. To see old friends and make new friends.

So don't wait until school actually starts! Go and finish this list before the summer ends!

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?

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.
