Dear Summer of 2016,

Thank you for being so worthwhile. With so many amazing things that happened between May and the start of the school year,I truly believe that I had the most fun of any summer during this year's summer.

To start off, the most amazing part of the summer was the Kimye v. Taylor Swift battle. To make it clear, I am, and forever will be, on Kimye's side, for many reasons. But, what made it truly worth it was how much Kim and Snapchat (inadvertently) DRAGGED Taylor Swift with those videos. Even though Taylor tried to recover with her "narrative" statement that completely blamed Kanye, it was obvious that people began to see her as how I've been seeing her for the mast couple years, and she has a lot of work to do to fix her image.

Anyway, different than that was the amount of absolute jams there were this summer. Drake, Ariana Grande, FRANK OCEAN, Rihanna, The Chainsmokers, and soooooo many more. I don't think there was ever a moment where I wasn't dancing crazily around my room or just jamming out randomly at my summer job.

Finally, this is gonna sound cheesy, but thank you for finally having the Olympics again 2016. In 2012, I was just an innocent teenager that really didn't care about sports. I still hate sports, but now I have a deeper understanding of various sports, including the ones that aren't so mainstream. I was actually able to show to people that I knew what I was talking about, instead of just saying "Yaasss Gabby flip!" like I did in all of the London Games.

Other than these monumental events that came with the year, I think 2016 was pretty good. Even though I (and everyone below 22) has to go back to school, I'm happy to say the summer made the wait completely do-able. RIP 2016.

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.
