Looking back to 2003, we millennials were about seven or eight years old. Do you remember being so hype about going to see "Finding Nemo"? This movie was by far one of the best movies of our time. The colors were so pretty and vivid, the story line was entertaining, and all of the characters had crazy cool lines we still recite to this day. As millennials today, we use "Just Keep Swimming" to make it through our long days of "adulting." As small children, we may not have known our address, but you best believe we knew "P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney" like the back of our tiny little hands. Another awesome part about this movie was the cookies with the orange flavored filling. I had a stockpile of those! Years later, word on the street told us there was a sequel coming out called "Finding Dory," because we knew our little blue friend was driving the struggle bus with her short-term memory loss. Never have I ever been so pumped to see a children's movie in my life. At that moment, small children had no right to even see the movie until we had seen it first. Their ability to understand the greatness was zero. Unfortunately, theaters couldn't make that a rule so I may or may not have trampled a few children and this is why I am not ashamed.

In 2003, these pesky little nuggets weren't even thought of but if they were, they were the size of a pea. Meanwhile, we were glued to our television watching this movie five times a week (if not more). When word was received "Finding Dory" was coming out, the millennial world was revived and counting down the days until opening day. Yes, it's a children's movie. No, I do not care. These children have not traveled with the characters of "Finding Nemo" through the depths of the blue ocean on the emotional journey to find Nemo! Now Dory is lost and they think they can just hop on in on this emotional journey to find her? They simply do not get it. If they weren't old enough to appreciate the original movie, why on earth should they get to go see the new one before us? They shouldn't. This is why they were trampled and it's okay. I feel no shame. I'm sorry but I'm not sorry.

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?
