Due to recent events, I feel compelled to write this chronology of Chipotle. Many of you will feel the struggle, however, I always order my food online. Unfortunately today the website was busted so I couldn't get a pick-up time at my local 'Potle so I was forced to walk in there like a plebian. I won't make the same mistake twice...too costly.

1. It starts in my car, swerving to avoid the people who just back their cars out without even looking.

2. After parking safely, I walk up to the door hoping against hope there's no line today.

3. To my dismay, I make it about one centimeter into the restaurant to discover the line is to the door.

4. Feeling a mix of hunger pangs and regret for not ordering online, I begin to question my dedication to this fine Mexican grill known as Chipotle. How bad do I want to eat here?

5. I take a look outside to see that Tennessee Street is backed up with traffic all the way to Blountstown. The amount of time it would take to get food somewhere else is an unbearable thought.

6. I'm here so I might as well stick it out. Let's check Instagram or call my third Aunt Linda who I haven't talked to since Christmas of 2008. That ought to take up some time.

7. I'm almost to the counter. White rice, black beans...White rice, black beans...White rice, black beans...

8. I'm here only to realize they're out of steak. Guess it's just chicken today boys...

9. Wait! They said they're making some right now! It's a good day when I can go half and half at Chipotle.

10. Time to pay and get home so I can watch Netflix while I eat.

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.
