19 Thoughts Seniors Have During Their Last Semester As Told By Leslie Knope
Rachel Simon

Apparently I'm graduating in four months and I don’t feel as though I’m ready to be thrown to the wolves yet. I remember being in high school and thinking I had plenty of time to mature and feel well equiped to enter the world of adulthood, but that didn't happen. I try not to think about it as much as possible but a few questions and thoughts often come up. Leslie Knope knows exactly how we're feeling.

1. Can I hit the restart button yet?

2. How am I considered an adult?

3. I'm not ready to live alone.

4. What are things adults do for fun?

5. Where did the last four years go?

6. Is it no longer acceptable to watch Disney movies for fun?

7. How do I apply for health insurance?

8. How many times a day can I call my mom when I have questions?

9. I'm supposed to pay for my own food?

10. Does this mean my mom can't come with me to doctors appointments anymore?

11. Does this mean I can't have sleepovers with my bffs anymore?

12. Will my parents kick me off of their family phone plan before I have my own family?

13. How am I supposed to get access to my friends' closets when they don't live with me and I need a rockin' outfit?


14. Why can't all my friends live in the same neighborhood/state as me?

15. When are my drinking habits considered a problem?

16. I hope my colleauges will take me seriously.

17. Now that I'm a grown up and I still don't know what I want to be, is that a problem?

18. How many vacation days am I going to get a year?

19. I wish everything would just slow down.

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.
