Poetry On Odyssey: The Perfect Fit

It's almost as if all of the puzzle pieces fit perfectly into the puzzle of your dreams.

I long for a perfect fantasy,

In which you have finally taken notice of me.

After years of passing each other in the hallways,

It took the last year of our lives to discover each other.

Recycling person after person,

We never looked in front of each other.

Maybe you did,

But I never did.


I had to meet you face to face

Until you finally came into existence.

Had I been more attentive,

Perhaps I would have noticed you earlier.

You made an impact in my mind,

Imprinting yourself into my memory.


It wasn't until the next year until I realized

You were the missing piece of my puzzle.


You are you.

You are someone who cares about your responsibilities.

You are someone who takes notice of the smallest details.

You are someone who worries about how other's are feeling today.

You are the missing puzzle piece everyone needs in their lives.

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?

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.
