We all do things we are not proud of or things that make us feel as if we're dying inside. Maybe we really do die a little. Either way, here are 15 things I don't plan on repeating in this lifetime.

1.Ride a scooter down a hill steeper than Mount Everest.

It may have not really been that steep but there was blood and a road burned leg.

2.Tell someone you love them within 3 months of dating.

Lust is not love no matter how many kissy face emojis are exchanged.

3. Work retail for the holidays.

I don't know how many times I went to the back to check for things we don't have. Or maybe it was to cry. I cant remember.

4.Agree to a job in which I'm underpaid.

Time is money and I am valuable.

5.Not remind someone they owe me money or food.

I'm probably owed like $1,000 by now. Growing balls is hard. Especially when you're a girl.

6. Skip my vitamins.

When you skip your vitamins you get sick. Remember, I am valuable with no time to waste.

7. Skip meals in hope for a "better body".

Oh yeah, I'm sure those saltine crackers a delicious for lunch but I'm going to stick with this BBQ sandwich and baked potato. Maybe I'll throw in a light salad. BAM! Healthy.

8. The cinnamon challenge

I almost choked and died, but it was a good laugh.

9. The wasabi challenge.

It was hot, I cried, laughed at my tears, and then drank a gallon of water. I still can't feel my tongue sometimes.

10.Challenge frat stars to a drinking contest.

There was dancing, exploring, late night ocean dips, and then blank. I think it was a good time, just not a good idea.

11. Attempting to eat around the mold on your food.

We have all grabbed that loaf of bread that has just begun to mold and in dire need for that grilled cheese sandwich you pick the pieces that have hopefully stayed fresh. You probably needed to cut a few pieces off. But hey a grilled cheese will wait for no man to get a new loaf of bread!

12.Throw out harsh cuss words around the fam.

Some people don't understand my humor.

13. Go to highschool.

Been there, done that, not going back.

14. Try an inexperienced back flip on an unprotected trampoline.

There was a black eye, and the springs became my diaper. Don't ask, don't try.

15. Be rude to a customer service employee.

I never have and I never will. I have been in the biz long enough to see the consequences.

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.
