Dear Sleep,

Hey, How are you? Remember me? Are you avoiding me? Last night, I had about 2 and a half hours of sleep studying for Anatomy, and I just finished a 13 hour school day. All day, all I could think about was taking off my makeup, showering, getting into my pajamas and reuniting with you. Not having my daily dose of Dunkin iced coffee didn't help either. I looked and felt like hell!!

I know when I was younger we didn't see eye to eye. We had our fair shares of problems, but god, how I miss you. I took you for granted and didn't realize what I had until it was gone. You were nothing but good to me, and I treated you like shit, I'm sorry. I was a naive kid that had no Idea how beneficial you were to me. A teen who thought binge watching Onetreehill late at night was better than being with you. Boy, was I wrong!

I catch myself numerous of times thinking about you, wondering when you will bless me with your presence. I really miss you, I really really miss you, you were my first love and I truly am nothing without you. You were good to me mentally and physically. You were the glue that kept me together, kept me sanest. I know it sounds like I'm saying these things only to be back on your good side, but I mean it more than you'll ever know. Come back to me, please come back to me. This time, I'll treat you like the Queen you are, because you more than deserve it.

PS. Do you think you can stop teasing me, and come sooner than 1am, i'm getting tired of these late nights

PS. PS these bags under my eyes are not cute, girl!!! See you soon, hopefully.

Much love,
Istahil

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?

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.
