Ever since coronavirus became the number one thing talked about on the news, social media, and every other type of media platform, people have been voicing their opinions on how bored they are and how they wish they could leave.

Trust me, everyone wishes they could leave their houses, but it's just not possible right now.

We need to stay at home so we can flatten the curve and bring the number of cases down.

In the U.S.A, we have over 100,000 cases of COVID-19, which is more than any other country in the world.

And shame on those who still went on spring break even though they were told not to. Shame on those who still went out to the clubs and bars when you were specifically asked not to.

Now, I'm not perfect - I still hung out with a few of my friends, but I didn't go into big gatherings or large crowds.

The people who were acting like it was spring break 2.0, though, are just stupid. It's time for people to realize there are thousands of deaths occurring, and there are so many doctors and nurses risking their lives to save our own.

So, don't be selfish and ignorant - just stay home!

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
