Welcome to Neverland by Sarah Kate Daskal

Pan flutes hanging from tied up strings

Lost Boys play with Lost Boy things

Indians dance to offbeat drums

Pixies, fairies all twiddle their thumbs

Crocodile clocks ticking past ships

Hook can’t form words, trembling lips

Caverns all filled with gold and riches

Neverland may leave you a couple stitches

But not shocked am I that I am here

Dare I say, I’ve got nothing to fear

Cause growing up was such a bore

I’ve got nothing to question, not anymore

Nobody needs me, I’m off on my own

I can walk where I want, I can be all alone

Flying through forests all covered in dust

Never thought I’d run out of faith and trust

Walking through willows and whirling through water

Not proper behavior for a banker’s daughter

and sometimes I miss it, I want to go back

But Peter won’t let me, says I can’t even pack

I’m starting to wonder if this place is alright

starting to wonder how to slip away at night

Lost boys go missing, going, going, gone

Indians go stone face, all red faced at dawn

Pan flutes make no noise, no sound, are silent

Pixies, fairies all mad, all get too violent

How do I leave here, how do I go home

Don’t wanna grow up, but wanna just roam

“Second star to the right..” should have come with a warning

Cause no one knows if you’ll make it til morning

So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
