The Love Hate Relationship With Guilty Pleasures

As much as you’d want to deny it, we all love things that sometimes we probably shouldn’t. While in the moment you may be loving it, that next hour or day you definitely have some regrets.

1. Binge Watching Netflix

Yep, we’ve all done. Whether you should be sleeping, studying, or even in class you think to yourself, “I need to watch the next episode” and so... you do.

2. The Sweet Tooth

You’re supposed to be eating healthily this week but when you’re friends want to go get ice cream, you find it hard to refuse.

3. Going Out

It’s a Thursday and you might have a test or paper due the next day, but all your friends are going out and just can’t wait one more night until Friday. FOMO is your biggest fear.

4. Buying Clothes

You already seem to have so many rompers, but you just can’t resist. Even your bank account is telling you no, but you find a way to make it happen. Only to realize once you get home that you already have one very similar.

5. Social Media

Do you really care about 700+ people’s pictures or snap stories that you probably don’t know very well? You tell yourself no but somehow it’s the first thing you find yourself doing every morning... as well as any other free time... or study time.

If you resist these five – congrats, you’re doing better than me. For everyone else, don’t worry, I’m right there with you :-)

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.
