7 Things I'm Going To Ugly Cry About Missing After I Graduate From Western Washington University
Amber Armstrong

As my final article at Odyssey, I found it only appropriate to write about the things I am going to miss once I graduate. I have loved my two years spent at WWU and have had so many experiences that I will forever cherish!

Here are the top seven things I am going to miss:

1. Being in school.

I am going to miss the "security" of knowing that I am in school and I am taking classes. I am still undecided on what I am doing after school, and that scares me.

2. My roommates & apartment.

I really lucked out with my living situation this year. I am going to miss living with my roommates and the memories that we created. I am also going to miss our apartment! I don't want to leave it!

3. The people.

Everyone on campus is so nice. People at Western are so welcoming and accepting, I don't think I have ever been to a place like it!

4. My creative writing classes.

I really do love the classes I take and I am going to miss the professors I've had and the friends I have made in those classes. I have created so much in these classes, it's hard to say goodbye to them.

5. Living so close to my friends.

I don't know if there will ever be another time in my life when I am going to be living this close to all of my friends.

6. Bellingham.

The city is perfect for spontaneous adventures. There are so many different things to do for every type of person. It is the perfect college town, and I am really going to miss being at school in it.

7. The campus.

The Western campus is beautiful. In any season I just marvel at the buildings. My favorite is in the spring and summer when it is nice enough to lay out in the yard and read a good book.

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.
