Why I'm Sick Of School..

I Am So SICK OF SCHOOL! I've only been in here for what, a month. One month in and I've had it! Group projects are terrible, peoples are butt-holes and life seems to not want to be in my favor. If you came to this article thinking I was just going to rant about how school is terrible, you are sadly mistaken. Yes school can be stressful, tiring and just god awful, but when we cross that stage, it's all going to be worth it.

Right now I am a Junior in college, and I am just now peaking my horizon. I can honestly say I wouldn't be the person I am if it wasn't for my peers, my family and...SCHOOL! Yes school has it's negative factors but with all the negative factors I put with school, theirs a positive one. Then there is questions I ask myself, as in Why am I even in college? What is college really going to do for me? As much as I try to downplay college, my inner thoughts tell me otherwise. If I wasn't meant to be at an University or college, I feel as though I wouldn't be here. I live and die by the statement 'what is meant to happen. will happen.' I feel as though you can't force anything to happen, if it was meant to happen in your life, it will pull through.

For the readers that is looking at every single word that is being put on this very page, that's right I'm talking to YOU the reader, the one staring at this either on a phone or laptop. I commend you to really think, why are you in college? Is it because of your parents? Is it for a better life? Never do stuff because someone else wants you to do them. I challenge each and everyone of you to start doing school, not because of your parents or someone else, but actually for yourself, you just might see an improvement and actually appreciate school more for what it has to bring for you.

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?

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.
