Crushed Ice Cream, Phone, And Ego

One day, I was longboarding to a work center building on campus for a project I was doing. I had to bring a sheet of wood and some ice cream to the building. I had my phone in my back pocket, the sheet of wood underneath my armpit, and two cups of ice cream in both of my hands, all while longboarding. I was coming around this sharp corner and there was this girl right there. I was confident that I could whip right passed this girl, so I didn't slow down. But, then a really hot guy popped out of no where, I got distracted by his beautiful face, still didn't slow down, and I had to turn way sharper than I was prepared for. My back right wheel got caught on the sidewalk and the whole board stopped while I flew forward. Preparing for impact, I turned my whole shoulder, and scraped my whole back on the concrete. I spilled the ice cream all over myself, my phone was complelety crushed, but luckily I saved the sheet of wood that was necessary for my project. The hot guy, who in all honesty caused my crash, stopped and asked if I was okay. Of course I said I was fine, even though I was covered in ice cream and was in the worst pain of my entire life. I was too embarrased to say everything on my body hurt.

Nothin' But Shower Flops

A few weeks ago, I took a shower in my dorm. We have community bathrooms, so I have to leave my room to shower. When I was going back to my room, I realized I got locked out. So, I had to go to the main lobby to get a key to get inside of my room. Of course, all I had on was my towel. When I got to the lobby, my towel fell off in front of a crowd of people. It was a nightmare. Everybody was trying to not laugh at me, but they couldn't stop themselves, which just made everything worse. All I had on were my shower flops. My thighs were so white, you couldn't miss me. All the girls were giggling. Sometimes, I still get flashbacks in that lobby. Needless to say, I've never locked myself out again.

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?
