It is safe to say that there are some thoughts and actions that every teen will have at least once as they progress through high school. Here's to the confusing yet exciting years of young adulthood!


1. Wishing you were old enough to drink

2. Wishing you were old enough to drive

3. Friends that become your own personal taxi drivers

4. Moments of total worry about whether or not you’re actually ready for the responsibilities of life after high school

5. Copying homework the day it’s due

6. Letting people copy your homework the day it’s due

7. Procrastinating… even after the deadline has been pushed back… for the second time

8. Saving seats like your life depends on it

9. Trying to guess how the teacher is splitting people into groups in time to rearrange yourself to be grouped with your friend

10. Caring way too much about what that one guy/girl thinks about you

11. The continuous war against dress code

12. The necessary shopping trip once you’ve first entered college and can wear absolutely anything

13. Planning how you’ll write a three-paged paper, binging your favorite show and going out the day before your assignments are due

14. Successfully finishing a project you were given two weeks to work on in just one night

15. Music is a life saver in even the worst times

16. “I’m not going to that.”“There will be food.”“OK, I’ll think about it.”

17. Trying to get your parents/siblings to actually pick you up on time when you have to stay after

18. Finding the most effective way to persuade your parents

19. Making a buck off of classmates by selling snacks, doing easy favors, etc.

20. Feeling proud when your selfie game is strong

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

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.

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.
