A Letter To United Airlines

No, this is not a angry rant

Dear United Airlines, when I first read about and even watched the video of the incident with the man you kicked off the plane and then continued to beat down and yell at I was appalled and very upset. At first it was very inhumane to me that a huge airline company would do something so terrible but now after thinking it through I'm no longer upset with your Airline company. To those of you who still think I'm crazy for not hating United let me break it down for you. If a cop pulls you over and tells you to get out of the car and you just sit there and don't listen what do you think is gonna happen? You're probably going to get dragged out and beat if necessary. When someone of authority tells you to do something you do it, it doesn't matter what the reason is. If you just follow what they say then nobody is gonna get hurt. The airport security told the man that he had to get off the plane, he didn't listen. It doesn't matter if he was a doctor. He resisted and had to be dragged off a plane and he got hurt for not simply listening. Do I think that United could've handled this situation in a better way? I mean yeah the way they handled it was not the best solution but they were doing their jobs and they are not the bad guys here. The man who was dragged off is not bad either. Listen to authority when they tell you to do something and nobody gets hurt.

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?

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.
