You still mean a lot to me.

​To Those Who Left A Mark In My Life
Facebook

Have you ever met someone unexpectedly that you create an instant connection without realizing it? This sort of thing happens to me all the time and it’s not just because of how many close family friends my family has or how social I’ve become. It’s basically because the moment you’ve met that person they have left a mark in your life.

You want to believe it’ll go away right off the bat because you think you’ll never see this person again. Well guess what? That’s not the case at all whatsoever. You don’t have to be friends with someone to see them everyday or a few days a week. It can be a boss, your co-worker, anyone you met or know in your area; any one of these people can leave a mark in your life.

That mark doesn’t have to be left right away. For me it just happens that way because I became a people person on very good days. For others it can take days, weeks, months, heck even years if you are truly that unsure. Eventually, that time will come and that mark will be made in your life.

How does one leave a mark in your life? Well. if you read one of my most recent articles about this topic you would know for sure someone has left a mark in your life. Briefly, whether it be the amount of conversations you had with the person, letting then be a shoulder to cry on or just any amount of generous acts the person has done for you or your friends, that’s just the simplest of ways a single person can leave a mark in your life.

So for those who currently leave a mark in my life (this counts for those in my past too), I can not thank you enough. Mostly, because the mark you left on me helped me become the person I am today instead of staying the shy little girl I was when I was younger and helping me not fade back on that track. Please keep doing what you’re doing because it seems to be working.

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.
