Sincerely, Confused In College

I have just started my Sophomore year of college and I can’t help feeling confused about my life and future. I am confident in the major I have chosen and I am excited for the careers I can potentially have, yet I don’t know exactly how to get there or what to do. Some days I love college and I think, “YES THIS IS HOW I WILL BECOME RICH AND SUCCESSFUL,” and other days I want to drop out because my Survey of Accounting class makes no sense. I know many people I know joke about getting on Facebook and seeing all of their High School classmates pregnant, having kids, and starting families (which is highly accurate). In my opinion, that is crazy to think about because I still buy lunchables when I make weekly trips to Walmart and can’t even begin to think about that life for myself. This being said, I also know that many girls, myself included, imagine what the family life would be like and want it some on some level even though we know education always comes first. I feel like me and many other college girls just feel utterly confused as to what we want out of life since there are many routes to take. We want to end up entrepreneurs and doctors but we also want to be stay at home moms and watch our kids grow up; it seems confusing as to how we can do both at the same time. On another note, we also go from being in college and partially depending on our parents to becoming adults and needing to go out and find a career within a week of graduation. Which, honestly, is more confusing than anything because working a minimum wage job times a week is nothing compared to real life. All of this yet I ultimately know that whatever happens has been predetermined by the big man up stairs; however, I can’t help but be confused in college.

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.
