As time passes, we meet new people. We do not expect to see them coming. Certain people come at a certain time. They will change your perspective of the world and teach you new things. Some new things are related to your career goals while other new things are not related to your career goals. These other new things can be little and simple things like learning how to play a sport and learning how to swing on a rope.

When meeting new people, we learn to see the good in others. It helps us build trust in others. It also helps us embrace diversity because we see that stereotypes are not true. We meet at least one person that does not fulfill the stereotype. We learn that people are different from those that they are categorized with.

We learn that we can talk to people that we think are hard to make a conversation with. People say that we should stick to those who have the same interests, mindset, and culture only because it is easier to talk to them. However, we learn that people who are different from us unexpectedly have a connection with us. They like similar things that we like, and there is something from them that we can learn from that can help us improve our lifestyle.

New people can take us to more places that we have never been to before. Experiencing new places expands our knowledge and experience. We go out of our comfort zone and see a different place that is better than where we are always staying at.

We should be grateful to the people that we meet for all the knowledge and experience that they gave us. We will not meet all people in the world, but we will meet those that we will meet.

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?

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.
