It's That Point In The Semester Again...
static.independent.co.uk/

Ahh... Welcome to midway through the midway point of the semester. You're about 65-75% done with the semester, officially. (You might be 1000% done with the semester personally.) And your struggling. Well, don't worry were right there with you. Dealing with the same issues, just different class, times, and majors. But, we're all in this together.

It's that point of the semester, it's really easy to just give up. I've told myself probably 100 times in the last week I was taking a personal week. (Unfortunately, that's not a reality and I still have yet to take that personal week, and it probably won't happen anytime soon.)

It's that point of the semester, where all of your professors decide to give you exams either all on the same day, or in the same couple days.

It's that point of the semester where you're involved in way too much, and you just feel like dropping out of your extracurriculars.

It's that point of the semester where you are running off 3-4 hours of sleep.

It's that point of the semester where you sometimes forget to eat.

It's that point of the semester you show up to class with the blanket you're crawled out of bed with.

It's that point of the semester where all of your professors give you a huge multi-page paper worth 10% of your final grade all due on the same day

It's that point of the semester where professors give way too much "busy work" for homework.

It's that point of the semester when you don't even know what friends are.

It's that point of the semester when you're completely broke.

Unfortunately, It's just that point of the semester again. But we will all get through this. Just don't give up, it'll all pass eventually, and then we won't have to worry about it until next semester but for now, it's just that point of the 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?

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. 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.
