An Open Letter To My College Friends

Thank you to my college friends

To my ladies you know who you are I just wanted really quickly to thank you for being you. But don’t let this go to your heads.

It took me some time to find my group at school, maybe thats because I commute or maybe its because I love my friends from high school so much I didn't think I had room in my life for any more people, well I do so your welcome.

Thank you for making me feel bigger than my high school self. It was a rough time for me, but you made me realize I am not that person anymore. I am bigger than that girl and I have much more to offer the world.

Thank you for eating with me, its nice to have people to eat a meal with and talk about my day. Doing the eating alone thing fricken sucked so Im glad I have ya'll.

Thank you for reminding me to do things/doing them for me because if it wasn't for you guys I probably would have forgotten to sign up for advisement, whoops.

Thank you for trying to teach me what I didn't learn in class because my professors an buttmuncher.

Thank for you forcing me to step out of my comfort zone. It was so easy for me to commute from Long Island to Brooklyn everyday and never see anything but the same 5 blocks, but you pushed me to see more and explore our beautiful New York City campus, and even become more involved at school. You know you’re the reason I’m writing for the Odyssey now.

And finally thank you for being there, even though I have my high school friends its nice to have a group of girls who are dealing with the same things as me in school. Its nice to be able to look up in class and mouth “What the fuck is going on” during a lecture that I have no idea whats happening in.

So thanks ladies, keep being your beautiful wonderful bougie selves. XOX

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.
