What is it like being late all the time? It's a very complicated and frustrating process. I am one of those people that is always trying to be on time but is always late no matter how hard I try to be on time. There are stages to being late and but there is no going back to fix it once you already realize you're going to be late.

1. You start out being so confident that you can be on time. Thinking I can do this, I am going to be on time today!

2. You think "oh I don't need to get ready yet I have plenty of time before I have to leave I'll still be on time."

3. You realize okay I really need to start getting ready now.

4. You get distracted while getting ready so it takes you longer than a normal person to end up getting ready.

5. You realize you need to leave in half an hour and you're only half way ready and just wonder how is this possible.

6. You need to leave in 5 minutes to get there on time and start thinking maybe today isn't going to be the day you are actually on time.

7. You've accepted you aren't going to be on time, because that would mean you need to leave now and that it's okay because you're just a late person.

8. You were suppose to leave 10 minutes ago to be there on time.

9. You were suppose to be there already but you're still at home just about to leave.

10. You decided tomorrow is a new day and you will try harder to be on time then.

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.
