To My Future Daughter,

Here are some things to keep in mind:

1. Chocolate will not always cure your heartbreaks.

2. Only worry about your happiness, thats the most important.

3. Wear sunscreen like it's your job (trust me I learned my lesson).

4. Eat more than one slice of pizza.

5. Always reapply your lipstick so it never cracks.

6. Never lose contact with far-away friends, they are the ones that will always be there.

7. Do not bite your nails, you'll regret it.

8. Learn from your own mistakes to prove me wrong.

9. Pick a perfume that is "you."

10. Don't let a boy validate your existence.

11. You don't always have to dress nice to school, sweats everyday is okay.

12. It's okay to just cry.

13. If you need to talk, it's okay to wake me up at 3am even if I have work at 6am.

14. It's okay to hope for love.

15. Don't be sad if you get your hopes up, it happens.

16. Carbs aren't always bad.

17. I promise.

18. If you want to travel, travel.

19. Be gentle with you skin.

20. Take pictures, they make the memories last forever.

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.
