Dear Lost Soul out there,

This one is for you, especially when you really feel like giving up.

You may not feel this right now and you feel like the entire world is against you, but I want you to know that you are not alone in this world and you no one should ever feel that way. Trust me, I have been in that bad place before. It's that feeling where your mind is always overwhelmed with thoughts and you don't even want to get out of bed because you are just completely exhausted and drained from everything else.

But let me just say that I am on your side and I see who you truly are and how much potential you have in this world.

I see you waking up every single morning trying to figure out your life and how you are going to conquer it all. I see all your pain and your struggle, but let me just tell you that everything does get better. It may not happen overnight, but every day that you wake up and decide to take on the day headstrong is another day that you grow stronger and I am so proud of you for that. Your strength and determination do not go unnoticed because I see you for who you are.

Sure, the odds of us actually knowing each other are probably slim to none, but I want you to know that I am rooting for you. I am your cheerleader because I know you can get through this and you are definitely not alone.

You are stronger than most people because your feelings matter, regardless if it is physical pain or not. You are only human and we all have feelings, whether we like to admit it or not. It does not make you any less of a person because of it either. Don't worry about trying to justify your struggles and feelings with feeling lost and alone. The only thing that genuinely matters is that, even though you may be struggling right now, you still persevere every single day you wake up. That makes you incredibly strong and brave because you refuse to give up on yourself and that is amazing and should be recognized.

Eventually, I hope you find the happiness you need and deserve in this life because you are amazing. I hope you figure out who you are and love yourself in every single way possible because you are great and were destined for greatness.

At the end of the day, I want you to know that you are never alone with your hardships and you are loved. We all go through difficult times and that's okay. It doesn't make you weird and it is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. Just remember that even though you may be experiencing pain right now, you will come out even stronger than before.

One day you will look back on those moments when you were struggling and realize that you managed to push through it all and you survived. That is the greatest lesson of all.

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.
