In the spirit of turning 18, I've created a list of milestones I've done or in the process of doing. Age is just a number but the experiences are worthwhile. Treasure the good old days, but also make the upcoming ones count. This is also my last article for the Odyssey as I continue to venture out to the busy world with amazing opportunities waiting for me. Without further ado, I give you the 18 milestones you should experience before you turn 18.
