Its coming and its coming fast. Final's week is quickly approaching and as I begin to prepare for what is going to be the most hectic two week of my life I step back to think about how I will prepare myself. First I will get organized make sure all of my binders are neat and that everything I need is printed out and ready to go over. We have thanksgiving break this week but the day we get back from break it begins the final stretch of the semester. Last year I didn't freak out as much because I didn't have that many finals but this year I have a final in every one of my classes and I'm really stressing. I may look like I have it all together on the outside but on the inside Im freaking out. There is so much information to learn and although not a lot of my finals are cumulative it still is a lot of work studying and especially with nursing its going to be a challenge because that is a cumulative final. So in order to better prepare myself I am going to study over the break not a lot but a little each night just so when it comes time for the finals I'm not overwhelmed. On top of studying for finals there's also tests, quizzes, papers and projects to worry about. What I will be doing is focusing on that while also making sure to start studying gor my finals. The good thing about my finals though this year is that I don't have any finals that are back to back each day I have a final so I can focus on each subject one night in addition to studying in advance. One thing I have to remember to do during this stressful time is to take time to have fun and unwind because if I don't do that then I will turn into a hermit and not come out of my room ever and will always be stressed. All of my hard work is going to pay off and I can't wait to finally be done the semester so I can sit back and relax and physically and mentally prepare myself for next semester.

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.
