Everything from paying taxes to turning 21.

I very recently joined the 20-years-old club and have very mixed emotions. As one of the first people of my friends to turn twenty, it's kind of surreal. As my friends said, ten more years until I'm 30 and I'm also half way to 40 years old... So I have that to look forward to, but also a lot fun, unforgettable memories.

1. Turning 21.

Woo-hoo!

2. Studying abroad.


3. Graduating college.

I'll actually probably be crying.

4. Going to grad school.

The grand finale of education.

5. Paying off my college loans.

Which I'll probably be paying off for the rest of my life.

6. Getting my first full-time job.

Yay!

7. Living on my own.

Sure it will be terrifying, but it will also be great to have my own home.

8. Trying to get my life together.

The key word is trying.

9. Traveling.

10. Seeing where my friends end up.

May or may not go something like this.

11. Making my own meals.

Roman, Easy-Mac, candy and cereal all day, every day.

12. Being a responsible adult.

It definitely won't happen over night... if it does ever happen.

13. Meeting new people who get the struggles.

14. Paying taxes and rent.

15. Adopting many, many animals.

16. I will appreciate sleep even more.

17. I will learn to take care of myself.

It sure won't be easy.

18. Going to weddings!

I cannot wait!

19. High school and college reunions.

Wow, we are old.

20. Being a child at heart and avoiding adulthood.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
