With graduation right literally around the corner, everyone needs a graduation playlist to listen to with your friends, as you may be parting ways, at least for a little while.

So, you need a graduation playlist that will make you all cry (both happy and sad tears). So, I've so generously compiled a list of songs for your 2018 Graduation because I'm sure you've got other things on your mind, like what you're gonna do with the rest of your life and how you're going to survive without seeing these gems of friends every single day.

Warning: The first few WILL make you cry, the next couple are there to make you nostalgic, and the last will (*hopefully*) make you say something like "yay, growing up" or "glad that's over" or AT LEAST make you happy-ish.....

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.

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.
