Summer According to Homer Simpson

It's gonna be a great one... maybe.

Summer According to Homer Simpson

Being home for the summer starts out with so many plans of cool trips with old friends and racking up the cash at work before going back to school. But, you quickly realize that no one has time to do anything cool, your friends at college are way cooler than your friends from home, and your easy job just plain sucks. Here's to an average summer... how many more days until move-in?

Celebration

Ah, finally home. No more finals and I bet this summer will be the best one yet. I can sleep for two straight days and I finally get a home cooked meal that was paid for by someone else. Yeah, home for the summer sounds good.

Boredom


Hm, home is kind of boring, and I'm tired of pretending to unpack. Maybe I'll workout that way when I get back to school, I'll look awesome. Or I could just sit here and reorganize my buttons. *Clicks "Next Episode" on Netflix*

Reunions

Ah I have missed all of you guys so much! How's college, how's life, tell me everything! Let's go get Taco Bell and talk about it!

Crazy

I'm going to go crazy if I sit here another day with nothing to do. I've already rearranged my button collection twice. I don't like any of my high school friends and my only solace is the Quesalupa at Taco Bell.

Depression


I am severely depressed. I miss my college, my friends, my old social life, and I even miss my weird neighbor who never shut up. I'm tired of working and it's too hot to do anything.

Anticipation

In just a few a short weeks I get to be reunited with my squad. I can start the school year off on a good foot and get my GPA up (which is a lie). I will finally get out of this town, have my sense of freedom back, and can get back in my routine. I am so excited I might just not procrastinate packing this year (also a lie).

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.
