Thank you.

Thank you for cracking silly dad jokes in the middle of lecture to try to keep people interested. Even when we don't laugh, we appreciate the effort.

Thank you for taking the time to learn each of our names. Of course, we aren't a lecture of 200 students, but we are sizable enough that it's difficult to memorize names by the end of the second week.

Thank you for giving us an excessive amount of resources and practice exams, and giving us colored paper and laminating paper to make permanent study guides.

Thank you for paying attention to my grade, and caring when it slipped. Most professors wouldn't even notice, much less take it upon themselves to reach out. You emailed me, advised me to come to office hours, and walked me through every question I had (and I had a lot).

Thank you for caring. Caring about your job, my performance, your performance, and my grade. You put in the effort I have yet to see any other professor put in at Lehigh.

I never mind going to your class, or feel like it's a burden, even though it's the first class I have every Monday and Wednesday, and the ONLY class I have on Friday. I want to listen, I want to learn, I want to understand. And that is because of the effort you put in, and the care that you show.

So, thank you. Thank you very much.

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.
