Dear sleeping beauty,

When you wake up what is your experience? Is it something like hearing the beautiful noise of birds chirping, the wind blowing, or knowing that today is the day that you're ALIVE?

You're up and moving, you can breath,and you can do things. Are you aware? Are you being appreciative of the moment? Some people wake up without acknowledging the fact that they can even hear those birds chirping. Or maybe they've overlooked the bright reflection that the sun is sharing upon their window.

People take advantage of the natural and supernatural gifts placed upon their lives each and everyday. Watching the cars flow through the streets, yet still they’re not aware. Because instead of being amazed with how far mankind has came with technology, it’s the negative disadvantages that catch the eye.These people are not truly “woke”. So I say to you, if you're one of these sleeping beauties who have been taking the Earth's gifts for granted, change your ways. Do something for our planet, and make an effort everyday to leave your mark!

“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet”.

A touch of philosophy from Aryonne Genae’Link:“Challenges will arise, but it’s up to you to overcome them. Look at the bright side at least you have challenges to face, some people are dead…”

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.
