And I mean really.

41 Little Things Millennials Should Never Apologize For
Denys Nevozhi

Anyone who knows me knows I apologize for literally everything, even something I didn't necessarily have any control over. The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to not apologize for every little thing, but instead take pride in the decisions that I choose to make -- good or bad. With that being said, though, and with you as my witness, I vow to never apologize for these things again, because I'm tired of saying "sorry" just for the sake of saying it.

1. Wanting to be alone.

2. Being tired.

3. Being in a relationship.

4. Feeling anxious.

5. Getting the best grade on an exam.

6. Not going out.

7. Spending time with my best friend.

8. Needing to vent about someone or something.

9. Staying in to sleep on a Saturday night.

10. Eating ice cream for dinner.

11. My order at Starbucks.

12. Knowing all the words to "Waterfalls" by T.L.C.

13. My music taste.

14. Being indecisive.

15. Ordering a double double at In and Out.

16. Liking Nickelback.

17. Saying 'no' when I really mean it.

18. My past.

19. Removing you on social media.

20. Choosing to cut someone out of my life.

21. Not being the best at everything, because who is?

22. My obsession with cheesy comedies.

23. My (somewhat) inappropriate sense of humor.

24. My sarcasm.

25. My cheesy dad jokes.

26. My dumb tweets that no one else thinks are funny but crack me up.

27. Being myself.

28. Priding myself on my cynicism.

29. Being petty, because who isn't?

30. Eating the last pizza roll.

31. Not always having control over how I feel.

32. Being a "downer."

33. Flipping you off if you cat call me.

34. My nose piercing.

35. Choosing to hangout with my dad rather than 99.9% of my friends.

36. My sense of style.

37. Being honest.

38. Not texting back in .25 seconds.

39. Quoting "The Office"/"Friends"/"How I Met Your Mother" on a daily basis.

40. Setting high expectations for people.

41. Apologizing for something I had no control over.

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.
