An Open Letter To You At The Beginning Of Spring Semester

You have a lot going on this semester and that's what college is all about, right? Taking on more than you can handle, no sleep, and a lot of stress? Just keep in mind to take some time out of your busy life for some "you time." Even if that means sitting on a bench staring at the clouds for 10 minutes a day, it's all about you. If you've been slacking at the gym lately because of all the homework you have to do, try bringing a book or some notes to the gym. Whatever you need to do to get everything in in one day.

You might be taking 4, 5, 6, maybe even 7 classes this spring. People might look at you like you're crazy for taking on so much. And you might be just a little crazy, but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Look at yourself every day and tell yourself "I can do this!" Because you can do it.

You have a planner and a desk calendar... USE THEM! Remember when you thought you could just remember everything and it would be fine? But then you started forgetting some homework assignments and then some meetings and by the end of the semester you were more stressed then you needed to be? You can fix that by being just a little more organized with your schedule.

You have a whole dining hall with plenty of food options. You can eat healthier. It won't hurt to have a salad for dinner 4 times a week instead of that pasta dish. Wouldn't it be awesome to go home for break and look like a new person?There are so many things you can do this semester to make it a great one. Take advantage of the resources around you to make sure that happens. You got this! I believe in you.

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.
