A Letter From The Millennials

You are the next generation. You are the future. I have hopes for you, I have goals for you and I have wishes for you. As I'm sure you have your own hopes, goals and wishes. You will accomplish things that we could never imagine or hope to accomplish.

I hope that you grow up in a world where there's peace. I hope that you grow up in a world where terrorism ceases to exist, and where people love one another regardless of their differences. I hope you grow up in a world where people don't judge one another. I hope that people will treat their fellow human beings as just that - fellow human beings. I hope that you grow up in a world full of peace and love, not war and conflict.

You don't yet know the things you will accomplish. We live in a world where people are constantly trying new things. Technology and medicine are constantly changing. Fashion trends change like the tides. New movies come out weekly, new restaurants are opening left and right and new websites pop up every day. We live in a constantly changing world, and there will always be something new for you to try or accomplish. I hope you're not afraid to have an open mind and try new things. You can try as many thing as you want. You may not like everything you try, but you will regret not trying everything. Don't be afraid to take a chance. Don't be afraid of change. That one risk could be the thing that you fall in love with and change your life forever. I hope you know that you can accomplish anything that you want to.

I hope you're not afraid to dream big. We live in one big world. Always dream and hope and wish. Most importantly, don't let anyone stop you from dreaming and hoping and wishing. You can do anything you set your mind to. You can accomplish your goals. Make your dreams more than dreams; make them your reality.

My hope is that you grow up in a world that lets you do exactly that. I hope you grow up in a world where you can do anything. Don't let yourselves be known just as another generation. Make a name for yourselves. Be known and remembered. You can do anything.

Good luck and best wishes,

the previous generation

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

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.
