With 10 seasons of pure, genuine television, Friends set the stage for the ordinary, day-to-day lives of six 20-somethings. For years, we watched them morph into successful, fun-loving adults.

But, what if they went to Oakland University?

Sure, we know Chandler and Ross were roommates, and that Ross got high, but what kind of students were they?

No one can deny that much of what the friends say and do relate to college students. My new favorite episode is "The One Where They Went To Oakland University."

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.

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.
