Summer Break As Told by 'Friends'

The long-awaited summer vacation has finally arrived, and you're more than ready to soak up some sun, catch up with your home friends and simply enjoy four months free from all schoolwork. Your family will be thrilled to see you. Being away at school has given you a newfound appreciation for an easygoing life at home...or so you thought. Sooner than later you'll be itching to get back to school. Here's how the process usually goes:

1. Trying to move everything back into your room at home was a lot harder than you thought it was going to be.

2. But even if it is a mess, having a room to yourself has never felt better (although it might be hard to get used to).

4. Driving your car for the first time in months is beyond exciting, but you may have lost your touch, just a little bit.

5. Being home means real food, and you can't help but take advantage of that.

6. As much as your parents missed you while you were away at school, they're probably starting to get sick of seeing you on the couch 24/7.

7. And maybe your summer job search isn't going as planned, so they're probably not too happy about that either.

8. When you finally get to see your friends, you can't contain yourself.

9. And you start talking about all of the fun things you're going to do together this summer...

10. Until you remember that without a job, you're completely broke.

11. You start to regret all of the dumb things you spent your money on at school.

12. But this only makes you think of how much fun you had doing those fun things, and you start to miss your friends.

13. Only three and a half months until you see them again!

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?

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.
