An Open Letter to Miss Independent: You Are Beautiful
Monica Bradley

This is a letter to the girl who has almost never needed someone there. You have always been the one who has been you're biggest support system. You have always been the one who picked up the pieces when everyone left. Girl, you were the only one who knew you're heart and everything it was. You may not have always had the independence you have now, however you did have that fire. There was always something there pushing you and driving you to be who you are. However, that always left you being the odd one out.

But I want to let you know that it is amazing.

Being independent has so much to offer. It gives you a sense of confidence that you have to your core. That confidence that no one can take away from you. Being independent also shows you how to be alone and to be happy about it. I mean when you get to a point where you enjoy being just you, oh man is it a sweet place to be in. Being independent also allows you to be who you were made to be, yourself. Now I'm not saying that being independent is the answer to all your problems, however it is the answer to many of them. I know for a fact that being independent myself has shown me how to pick myself up and how to love every bit of myself. I wish every single girl knew who they are, and found that on their own, because when you do, it's an irreplaceable feeling.

All I have to say is, find you and hold on to you. Because you are all you and that's beautiful!!

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.
