As the semester is winding down I have been thinking a lot lately about the things that I miss at home, I have had a fabulous fall semester but I am also super glad that winter break is just around the corner. So as I have been thinking about going home for the holidays I have compiled a top 6 list of the things I can't wait for when I go home after finals.

1. To spend time with my family.

This semester has been quite different for me than previous semesters. This time I got an on campus job that has required I stay at school most every weekend to work. Not that I am complaining at all because I love staying here on the weekends now that I am used to it but coming from a girl who went home every weekend its been a huge adjustment. So I just keeping thinking about being able to go home and spend more than 2 nights in my house.

2. MY FRIENDS

I miss them so dearly when I am at school. Don't get me wrong I am super blessed that a bunch of my friends came to the same school as me but at the same time there are a couple of them that are still 3 hours away and I miss them dearly.

3. My hometown

I never in my life thought I would miss anything about the teeny-tiny little town I grew up in but I have really started to miss the town, the people and just the atmosphere there.

4. My hometown work family

At home I work at a dental office that I miss terribly. The people I work with are more like family than just regular people. I miss being able to go and tell them all about my life and them give me the best advice and laugh at how funny my young life is.

5. The Mexican food

Don't get me wrong Richmond has some pretty great food but none of it in my opinion will ever compare to the Mexican food my hometown has to offer. Or maybe its just because they know my order when I walk in the door.

6. My parents

I would normally never ever admit this to them but I do miss them really bad when I am at school, not that I can't go without seeing them for a few weeks or anything like that but they are really my best friends and I miss them laughing at me for all the silly things I do at home or watching movies with them on the weekends. So yes, at this time in the semester I am the girl who can't wait to get home to spend time with her parents and I am no way ashamed of that, I'm actually thankful.

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.
