It's The Summer of Your Freshman Year

It isn't all that it's cracked up to be

It's The Summer of Your Freshman Year
Jenny Davis

Wow, its the summer of your freshman year. While you are excited to go home, reality sets in and you realize that you miss your hall and the constant noise. Going home is bitter sweet; however, after the first couple of weeks you remember that you can't do want you want whenever you want. That you can't just walk into someone else's room because you are lonely or you just want friend company. The first weeks are fun, you get to reminisce about your entire freshman year. But after those first weeks you'll realize that you want to go back to college for a few of these reasons:

1. You miss your friends A LOT

2. Living by yourself at home is VERY lonely after living with 35+ people.

3. Summer isn't all that it is cracked up to be after high school.

- You have to save money for books (for those science majors $$$, start saving NOW!)

- You have to save money for food

- You have to save money for dorm room things (that you and your roommate decide that you just have to have)

- You have to save money for those random little things that you just HAVE to get over the summer.

4. You think you are going to be so neat and organized once you get back home. However, it's the beginning of July and most of your stuff is still packed away.

5. You and your friends have already started planning things for the next summer. The main reason is...you know you won't be able to stand being away from them for 3 months, and you will get super bored without things to do.

Well basically that has been my summer. Sophomore year, can you please hurry up... I miss my friends <3 you suitemates.

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.
