No Rain, No Flowers.

You are exactly where you are suppose to be.

No Rain, No Flowers.
Megan Mickels

I know it may seem like your whole life is falling apart, like nothing you do is ever right. Like your one day of light is followed by a week of tornado warnings and flash floods. I’m here to tell you that you’ll be alright.

Everything is only temporary, the good days and bad. The way you’re feeling is not going to last forever. So for now, just tell yourself it’s okay to get by. It’s okay to fly under the radar for a little while until you get back on your feet.

Just focus on getting by, day by day, and soon enough your silver lining will come. It’s okay to fall back sometimes. Not every part of your life is going to happen according to plan. Sometimes it’s going to feel like the whole world is out to get you, but it’s not.

Because the truth of the matter is this; you are exactly where you are suppose to be.

Every moment you’ve endured in your lifetime has made you into the person you are today. As the saying goes; no rain, no flowers.

I know it may seem that these flash floods and storms in your life will never end, but sooner or later the sun will shine through again, and those flowers have been waiting for their chance to bloom. And, oh my, when they do, it will have been worth it.

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?

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.
