Pieces Of A Generation


It's one thing to speak,

It's another to do,

We have become a generation of talkers,

Forgetting that words mean little without action,

Nowadays it isn't about love,

Only lust,

Always carrying a rubber,

Yeah that's a must,

It's not about feeling a connection,

Just faking your affection,

One a day,

Another at night,

Always changing what you say,

Half the time out of spite,

Better take a look at your actions,

Before you get to relaxing,

You don't want to end up in a situation,

Where you finally love someone, That turns out to be another fake,

Our generation has become so use to temporary feelings,

This includes things and people,

We aren’t surprised when there isn’t a sequel,

But it’s sad really,

How accustomed we have become,

Detachment has become something normal,

Our generation is use to temporary feelings,

They don’t expect a sequel,

They’ve expect everything to come to an end,

The idea of something temporary is the new trend,

And it’s a really sad thing to see,

This generation isn't ready to settle down,

They're just looking for a follow on Twitter or Instagram,

This generation is missing out,

On so much that could be,

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.
