St. Patrick's Day is coming up soon and then green will be everywhere. Now, St. Patrick's Day is both a cultural celebration and a religious one that is held every year on March 17th. It's going to be a good time. Now, if you decide to drink on this day, I'm not going to judge you for it. But there are ten other things that one can also do other than drinking when it comes to St. Patrick's Day.

1. A scavenger hunt

You can do this anywhere and with anyone. You can get creative with it. You can play it in your house, backyard, town, and so on. You could do a photo scavenger hunt, or you could collect things like prizes. Or you could do both.

2. Run or walk a 5K

This is something that you can do alone, or with your friends and/or family. Strive for the gold!

3. Go to a concert

Maybe your town or a town near you has a concert that you can go to. You could go to a concert where there is Irish music being played, and you can dance along to the dancers that are on stage.

4. Try different Irish food

It's never too late to try something new. Popular Irish food consists of Irish stew and bacon and cabbage. You could check out different local restaurants to see if they have any specials going on.

5. Attend a parade

Many cities like Boston, San Diego, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, and Cleveland all have parades taking place on St. Patrick's day. There is a lot that goes into parades and it sounds like fun.

6. Go out to eat or stay in and cook

Whether you go alone, with your friends, or family. You could go to your favorite restaurant to get some food, or you could try something new. Whatever you feel like doing. If you don't feel like going out to eat, you can stay in and cook an Irish meal.

7. Rollerblading or ice skating

I've never tried ice skating, but it sounds like a lot of fun. I haven't roller bladed in a long time. So, it might be time to bust out the skates and go. This is something fun that you can do with your friends and family or you could go by yourself.

8. Catch a movie

Whether you want to stay at home or go to a theater, you could watch a movie or have a movie marathon. This is another great thing that you can do either by yourself, or with your friends/family. You could catch a documentary too about Irish culture. There are so many options to choose from.

9. Crafts project

You can make a craft by yourself or with people. You could do a craft that has a St. Patrick's Day theme to it. Crafts can be fun and a good way to let your creative side out. You could be good or bad at art. It doesn't matter.

10. Have a game night

Invite friends or family over and have a game night. Bring all your favorite games, play some music, have food and drinks and just have fun.

There are probably way more things that you can do on St. Patrick's Day that I didn't include on this list. Whatever you decide to do on this day, I hope you have fun and have a great St. Patrick's Day. Because what it really comes to is celebrating St.Patrick, the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, Irish culture and heritage, and just having fun with the ones that you love. Have a great St. Patrick's Day!

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.
