The Sun Always Rises and Sets

The Sun Always Rises and Sets
Tori Tredinnick

The way life should be dealt with can best be easily described as when the sun rises and the sun sets each day. Each day, no matter what happens, no matter how it happens, nothing affects the way the sun rises and sets.

The sun doesn't let anything get in it's way. It knows it only has one shot to live, and no matter what the weather, good, bad or somewhere in between, the day will eventually come to a close. The sun will set, just to rise the next day.

The sun has seen a lot during its lifetime, and each year, as it goes through its seasons, it never once stopped giving light, and being figuratively happy. And sure, it's cloudy some days, or storming, but the sun is always still shining even though it's not at full force.

In addition, the sun never stops rising or setting because someone thinks it isn't as beautiful as it should be. But, even though the sun doesn't always get recognition, it doesn't mean its any less perfect, so just because you aren't always acknowledged, or your achievement aren't always seen, it doesn't mean you're worthless. Because on day, people will realize you were the most perfect sunset because you rose every morning, and didn't let people dictate how you felt about yourself.

We should learn from the sun, and it's crazy ways. It doesn't let what happens around itself ruin it's day, even if it has a bad day, it still find way to shine and to be happy. It knows, that even the worst days always come to an end, and that it'll have a chance to shine even brighter the next day. We should learn that we shouldn't let others dim our inner sun, or demean it in any way, and even if that does happen, our days will end and the sun will rise 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?

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.
