I've always loved kids' things ever since I was a kid, up until now, being 21. A lot of people tell me to grow up. I'm not going to, but here are some ways that prove being immature could make you the best parent ever.

1. Kid movies.

You love watching kid movies, so when they ask to watch Minions for the fifth time this week, you're excited about it too.

2. Movie soundtracks.

This goes hand in hand with number 1. When they ask to hear that one song from Coco for the third time today, you'll most likely want to hear it too. (I mean you'll definitely be singing it all day anyway.)

3. Nap time.

You can take a nap while they are too.

4. Nightlights.

Speaking of sleeping, you might not have to have a scooby doo nightlight, but you need a TV on playing your favorite show that you've seen a million times.

5. Sparkly and glitter-anything.

They see something at the store, and you also are freaking out about it too.

6. Fruity shampoo.

They like having their hair smelling like strawberries and you love having yours smell like green apples.

7. Boy bands.

Even if you can't relate to having girl/boy trouble because you're most likely married, you love listening to your kids' One Direction or BackStreet Boys.

8. Youtubers.

Keeping up with Jake Paul and seeing what he's doing. Ok, maybe not Jake Paul, but whatever Youtuber the kids are into nowadays.

9. Any new trends.

You love staying up to date with things the kids love.

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?

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.
