Here is a long list of what I'm thankful for this year!

1. People who cut lines during holiday shopping, so I can learn patience.

2. People who go Black Friday Shopping at 5 A.M., so that I can shop from the comfort of my bed.

3. People who get in heated arguments that hold up the line, so that I can have some sort of entertainment while shopping for presents.

4. My family's mechanic, who fixed the heat in my car because I'd be a whiny baby without it.

5. Hand warmers because they are a lifesaver when you don't have working heat in your car.

6. My pretty okay mental health. 

I think my dad is more thankful for this so that he doesn't hear me have panic attacks at 3 A.M. anymore.

7. Food so that I can eat with or without being disturbed.

8. How long my hair actually grew within two and a half to three years.

9. My bed. 

Once I am in, there is no possible way I am getting out of my bed for ANYTHING.

10. That I'm finally done this stupid list.


Enough of the sweet stuff, I'm going to bring up a very heated debate. WHY DO PEOPLE SKIP THANKSGIVING? CHRISTMAS CAN SIT THEIR BUTTS DOWN AND LET THANKSGIVING SHINE.

What is so bad about Thanksgiving? Lots and lots of food, laughter, chit chat, spending quality time together, and passed out when I eat too much. Stores need to stop putting up Christmas decorations in the middle of the Halloween season.

Don't get me wrong, I love opening gifts. I feel really bad about missing family members during Christmas. My medication also gets pretty wonky during the winter months because the cold makes me feel more depressed.

In conclusion, I'm a very stressed out human being who has too much stuff on her chest and that I'm ready to just leave if people are debating about Thanksgiving. EAT YOUR TURKEY AND SHUT 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?

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.
