An Open Letter To My Aunt, Who Was Gone Too Soon
Sophia Mayfield

To my aunt who left this world too soon,

I miss you so much. It feels like it's been a lifetime since I've gotten to hear your laugh. I remember how contagious it was and how it could light up any room. I miss hearing all of your crazy and unbelievable stories. You, hands down, were the greatest story teller I've ever known. You gave my sisters and I the greatest birthday parties ever. From your crazy glasses you brought for us to the way you could do such amazing things with a computer, you always made me smile. You always knew the latest celeb gossip and most of the time you knew who was going to win the Bachelor / Bachelorette months before it actually came out. Let's not forget the Christmases at grandma's, when you made all of the kids laugh by saying the juice box phrase. Only we would know what that means.You always knew how to make a fun time for us kids. Not to mention you set up my first e-mail for me. Anytime I see something pink, sparkly and bedazzled I think of you because that was what you lived for. You never failed to amuse me and I always looked forward to getting to see you.

I remember when I heard the news about you passing. I could not believe it. There was no way. It was one of the worst days of my life. I just kept thinking that life isn't going to be the same with out you. Family parties would never be the same, not hearing your laugh.

I think about you everyday. I get sad because I just wish I had you now to talk about so many things, since I'm a teenager now. I have so many things I want to talk to you about. I want you to see my Poms performances and I want to talk about all the crazy things that we used to talk about. Trust me, I know you're there watching out for me. That has definitely helped me through all of this. I know that wherever you go after death, whether it's Heaven or somewhere else, you are more than happy and making people laugh.

You taught me how to be myself always and to not care what others think. You taught me how to have fun with life and push through the hard times.

I will never forget you. I love and miss you so much.

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.
