The Values Of Thanksgiving

Beware of food-coma!

This Thanksgiving there is a lot to be thankful for. We can all be thankful for family, because lets face it, they might be crazy, but you wouldn't have the stories you would without them. I know I wouldn't know what to do without them. The food is always good. It's what all of us diet for so we don't gain those pounds over the weight we started with. We all see those relatives that we only see every five years and don't even know who they are.

Being with family is one of my favorite parts of the holiday. It might be because I only see them when I have breaks from school, now that I'm in college. But even before then, I just liked the company. There's just something about the holidays that being people together. It's the best thing that's happens every year and I can't wait until next year even though this Thanksgiving just ended. Thanksgiving is just the start when it comes to my family. Not only do I love the holidays, but my mom is a holiday fanatic.

The food during Thanksgiving is the part I look forward to the most. The potatoes, squash, and cranberry sauce are what you can never eat enough of. Although it may be filling, it's also addicting and can lead to food coma. There has yet to be a cure for this coma that will effect millions of American's every year.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and as always, eat a lot because it's the only time it's acceptable.

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.
