New Experiences Can Be A Fun Time

As you begin to grow older, there are new things that you are going to want to do but you are nervous about. Right now, some of us are young adults or kids, depending on the year that you are born in, and while it is going to be different for everyone, it is always fun to have new experiences. When you are first trying out new experiences, they can be scary and something that you do not want to try. But from experience in trying new things, you are never going to know if something is fun unless you are able to experience it. When you are still in high school, and even middle school, there are different things that you are able to experience while being at school and even after school. During this time, you can do things such as club sports, high school sports or any other extracurricular activities that you may be interested in or want to try. Although it may be hard for you to try something new and say that you do not like it, you need to wait until you try that activity again before making the decision of not liking it.

The point of trying something new is to experience it for the first time and to see if it is a hobby or skill that you want to keep working at. As you keep trying new experiences, you are able to broaden your horizons and keep an open mind on things you may try you have never heard of before. Doing this, you will meet new people who may have the same interest as you and you never know, you could make life long friends. Although college is different than high school and middle school, some things still stay the same in the aspect of trying new experiences.

One new experience that you will have as you get older is moving away from home and being on your own for the first time. This is important for some people and can be scary because it may be your first time away from home. But remember this is a new experience and you can never know you like it until you try it for a couple of weeks. Adjusting to college is a whole new experience because you are on your own for your academic journey in the field of study you want to pursue, and without parents or anyone really telling you when to actually sit down and do your work. This is a good way for people learn about being independent, and even though it may be tricky, we cannot live on our parents couches the rest of our lives. As you go through college, new experiences will pop up around the corner at you just asking you to try it. One way that may happen is by getting involved with a club or group you may never of thought you would of been part of and that might of not interested you at first. With that being said, you are always going to experience new experiences all throughout life and need to be able to learn about how they can actually be fun.

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.
