What's So Special About Friday Night High School Football ?
Houston

When the sun goes down and the lights come on for High School Football on a Friday night there's something about it that gives me goosebumps. When you run out onto the field or see the fans in the stands, it gives you chills. Everyone in your town is cheering you on and there isn't a open seat in the bleachers. "Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn't let them down because you told them the truth" (Friday Night Lights). This quote represents what High School football is all about, giving everything you have to the guy next to you. Friday Night football is something special because you don't get the same felling you do on a Saturday or Sunday.You play with your friends for your whole life and after 4 years of High School you never have that same felling again. College Football and the NFL have a feeling to it but nothing likes Friday Night football. I had the pleasure of managing my High School football team. They were the best 3 years of my life. Duxbury High School football tough me how to be apart of a team. I miss the Friday Night games but what I miss more is the people. The bus rides, signing songs, talking to the coaches, thats what i'm going to miss. Friday Nights Football will always be special for me.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
