These Are The Nights I'll Remember

We have laughed, cried, screamed, and lost our minds sitting around the living room TV. The times that seem so insignificant are the ones that make the biggest impact in my life. I walk through the door and my heart is flooded with joy because I simply love these people so much.

There are plenty of Instagram posts of friends dressed up and hitting the town. There were nights we spent out until two am and crawled into bed laughing at how ridiculous we were. All these nights, I will remember. We look back and laugh, but they don't stick like you might think. It's the simple nights that mean the most.

This is an ode to my friends. This is an ode to my second family. They are there when I am at my best and cheering me on while I soar. They are there when I feel like I can not continue and will break apart. It is every second dinner we share and the jokes we've made that I will not forget and I am sure I will miss so much.

Years from now, it will be the cheap Mexican food and Netflix with all of you that I will miss most. The nights out will pale in comparison to the simplicity of your unconditional friendship. There is nothing else like it. I hope we always laugh too loud and sing without a care. I hope we always stay up too late and drink too much coffee the next day. I hope you know how deeply I love you all.

Thank you for being you.

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?

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.
