It’s finally happening. In the midst of ordering graduation dresses and announcements, making dinner reservations, and everything else, the realization that I’m graduating in a few short months is at the forefront of my mind.

Honestly, it’s really hard to believe because it feels like I just started college, and now it’s over in the blink of an eye. Reflecting on the last three and half years, it’s been amazing! College is such a ride: ups, downs and everything in between! Everyone gets to this point eventually, and while it’s bittersweet, it’s also really exciting! It can be a little daunting if you’re not sure what you’re doing yet, but at the end of the day you’re graduating from college with a degree and that’s a big deal!!

So, with that in mind, no matter how nervous or anxious you are about the days counting down, just enjoy the time you have left, and be excited for what’s to come after!! The world is your oyster (*graduating from college, and still don’t know what that expression means but I use it at least once a week. Oh well.) The point is, you have your entire life to figure out what to do with it, just spend your time doing things you enjoy, and celebrate when you do BIG THINGS ... like graduating from college!!!

So…… CONGRATS TO EVERYONE WHO’S MADE IT THIS FAR. WE DID IT!! Here’s to making the most of our remaining days of college, and continuing with a lust for life for the rest of it!

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?

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.
