10 Things I'm Going To Do After Graduation

1 month and 23 days. In 1 month and 23 days, my four-year journey of blood, sweat, and tears will be over. All I've been able to think about for the last few weeks is what I want to do with my life after I graduate. A lot of you have probably had the same thoughts, but in case you need any ideas here are 10 things I want to do after graduation.

1. Take a nap.

I'm tired, I'm cranky, and if I don't get some sleep soon, I might just lose my mind.

2. Look for a job.

Okay, this is kind of a given, but as soon as I wake up from my nap the fear of crushing debt is going to set in and I'm going to need a good job to waylay that fear.

3. Go see Infinity War.

So Infinity War is finally here and comes out on my graduation day... Kyle and I will just have to forgo the premiere date and have a date night in the few days after.

4. Spend time with my fiance.

Speaking of date nights, I would really love to spend some time with Kyle before his last semester sets in. This past semester's been so busy that I feel like I only see him once a week, and we live together!

5. Go visit my family.

I've seen my parents twice in the past four months, 'nough said.

6. Visit my best friend.

Going to college in two different states means I've gotten to see Jessica even less than I've gotten to see my parents, and this is not acceptable! But we'll have to work around her grown-up schedule since she landed her dream job even before graduating! (Way to go Sissy!)

7. Read a book.

And I mean for fun, not for class. I don't think I've gotten to read anything of my own choosing since Christmas break, and I feel my brain cells dying.

8. Take a trip.

I'm going stir crazy! I need to be away for a day to a theme park or a national forest or even just to Birmingham. (I'd love to go to Disney World, though. Hint, hint Kyle.)

9. Watch some TV.

I've heard great things about Stranger Things, and I look forward to seeing if everything's true.

10. Look into grad schools.

I know, I must be a glutton for punishment...

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
