I Don't Want To Graduate From College Just Yet

These are the best years of your life, why would you want to leave?

I Don't Want To Graduate From College Just Yet

Just as the title says, I do not want to graduate from college.

Ok, of course, I want to graduate in order to obtain a degree, and progress in life. But also I kind of don't want to because I am going to miss my friends, my life in this crazy college town, my apartment, and being on my parent's payroll. (Need I say more?)

I am just not all that jazzed about having to pay real bills, get a real job, and being a real adult. I am not afraid to say that I selfishly like running around college and not worrying about anything other than what I am going to wear out that night or where the next birthday pre is going to be.

College is literally the best time of your life where you make some of your best memories and it makes me salty af that we ever have to leave this magical place. If you do not feel this way about your soon-to-be alma mater then you definitely spent the last few years at the wrong place.

Think back to when you were graduating from high school, you would count down the days until you were free of that prison, but graduating college is literally the opposite. I refuse to even learn the date of graduation. (Even though my family is constantly asking.)

Everyone knows that all good things must come to an end, therefore I am thankful for the time I had in college. I am so lucky to have met friends I hope to keep for life, and even luckier to know that I can look back on these years and hold securely in the fact that I appreciated every moment of it.

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.
