Reading is practically the best thing that one can do in life. Anytime life gets too mundane and boring we can pick up a book and experience a new adventure. Every book is somehow different from the last. However, with that great power comes the great responsibility of surviving the many struggles of being a book lover.

1. Having stacks of books around your house because you have ran out of space on the bookshelves.

Every time we buy a new book we have to added to one of the ever growing piles we have had to make.

2. Questioning friendships because they say, "I saw the movie, I don't need to read the book."

How did we even become friends with them in the first place?

3. Having to mourn because the author made your favorite character die.

We have all experienced this at least once in our live. It never gets any easier, just different.

4. Staying up all night to finish reading a masterpiece.

"Can't stop now, only 94 pages left."

5. Getting around to finally watching the film adaption to your favorite book, and point out every single difference between the two.

All we can do is be frustrated with the movie makers about this one.

6. There will never be a book that is long enough.

If some books never ended, I would be okay with that!

7. There is always a little sadness at the end of each book.

No matter how good the book was or whether it was a happy ending or not, we always have a pinch of sadness because the adventure is over.

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.
