Welcome To Cuffing Season

To all my single ladies out there, put on your big sweater.

Brace yourselves, the sappy relationship posts on Instagram are about to be at an all-time high. Girls will be so hyped up on their pumpkin spice lattes that they'll post three pictures back-to-back of them and their boyfriends picking pumpkins and they will have no shame (some refer to this as "triple posting"). Welcome to fall, which is also known as cuffing season.

According to Urban Dictionary, "the cold weather and prolonged indoor activity causes singles to become lonely and desperate to be cuffed." That's right, your friend who ranted and raved all summer about how happy she was to be single will indeed be cuffed before you know it. Guys will stop direct messaging girls on Twitter for random hookups and instead they will be direct messaging their new girlfriend's mom on Facebook about their Thanksgiving plans.

Not all will be so fortunate as to fall in love as soon as the leaves change. There will be a select few of us who are still carrying on like cuffing season isn't among us. We will be few and far between, but we will form a strong front. We will post selfies with straight faces on Instagram, we will cuddle up in our big sweaters, and we will face the cold weather alone. Break-up season treated us badly and we don't want to go through that again.

To all my single girls, keep doing what you're doing. Stay single, cuddle with your body pillow, and love yourself. To all the girls who are getting cuffed as we speak, I wish you the best of luck in your relationship. Just please keep the Instagram posts to a minimum.

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.
