1. There is no way I had this much stuff in my tiny dorm room


You don't know how it happened...but somehow managed to fit your whole life in half of a dorm room for a whole semester

2. Not needing flip flops to shower is the best feeling in the world.

Walking straight from your room to the shower without putting on shoes is a feeling you missed more than anything.

3. I hate not being able to hang out with all my friends in a dorm room until 4 am.

Sadly, when you come home most of your new friends are 100's of miles away...not 100 feet away

4. I forgot how boring life is when you don't have class anymore.

What is there to do now that you no longer have tons of papers and tests.....besides work of course.

5. It’s crazy not to pregame in a dorm just to drink more at a frat party every weekend.

Although you may still be going to parties every weekend, no party is like a dorm or frat party.

6. What do I do with all this free time??

You have no more classes, none of your friends are in the next building anymore, and you don't know what to do with yourself.

7. I forgot there was more food out there other than ramen and the dining halls six choices.

Real food is a blessing and dining hall food will not be missed.

8. I forgot how amazing my queensized bed is.

Any bed is better than the cinderblock twin bed colleges give you.

9. I never want to leave my dog again.

Nothing is better than waking up to kisses from your dog.

10. Oh shit I can't swear as much in public!

When you aren't living in a college town people don't tend to appreciate constant swearing.

11. Holy fuck I miss my friends.

Although you have friends back home, the ones you made at college are beyond important and too far away for the next 3 months.

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?

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.
