To be honest life is hard and sometimes it’s full of crap, but this shouldn’t keep you from living your life the best you can. Now everyone’s life is different, and no one can tell you how to live it, or make how to make it your best, but there are a few things that make life better. Life is made up of a number of little moments. It’s never too late to make them count.

1. Love

There is so much to love in this life, and there is so much to gain love from. Love those who who don’t know how, and those who love like there’s no tomorrow. Love deeply.

2. Have fun

Enjoy every little moment you are given. Enjoy the movie, go bowling, run in a field of daisies. Just have fun. Whatever that may be. Do it.

3. Be with family

Family is one of the single best things we are given in life. Yes family can be crazy and hectic, but I promise they will always be there. I have many families, and I know I can count on all of them.

4. Make friends

Without friends who knows where we would be. Friends keep us sane, and let of have a little fun along the way.

5. Eat good food

Everyone knows we all need food to live so why not make it good food. Something so simple can have so much impact. Good food makes you happy, and happiness is the end goal.

6. Be kind

There is already too much hate in this world. Show kindness, and be different. Be what you wish to see.

7. Travel

Go see the world. You can go see your closest park, or go to the other side of the planet. Just go see. Don’t stay exactly where you are. Move, and see.

8. Rest

To be honest naps are a great gift. Rest yourself. Don’t do so much that you can’t enjoy it. Sleep, relax with a good book, drink hot cocoa and watch a movie. Just take a moment to breathe.

9. Learn

There is so much to learn. Don’t just be happy with what you know. Challenge yourself. Learn how others see the world so that you can appreciate it more.

10. Step out of your comfort zone

This is hard. We all like to stay nice and comfy, but let’s be honest. Some of the best things happen outside of the comfort zone. Try not to retreat to what you know, but to instead walk out into something a little different.

Live your best life for you. There is no way to know for sure how things will turn out, but we can always try to make them better. While making this life the best it can be for yourself, you can help make it the best it can be for others as well.

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?

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.
