What it's like to be involved?

Busy, yes, but I LOVE IT!

What it's like to be involved?
estrattonbailey & wearesculpt

So this week I was asked why I am so involved. At first I didn't know how to respond and then I didn't know how to get them to understand what I meant.

I love being involved. I love how much I get to do. I, like anyone, can get overwhelmed and it happens often, but I love being involved.

Here is my week...

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: I'm in class back to back from 11:15 to 2:20

Tuesday and Thursday: I'm in class from 9:20 to 12:35

And rehearsal every school night from 6-9.

On top of this I'm trying to get a job, keep up here on Odyssey and get my life in order for auditions.

Like I said I love being involved.

I'm trying to start a film club which is stressful when everyone in it has work or they are in rehearsal with you and barely have time to eat too.

At the beginning of the year I was an RA here and a lot of my coworkers said they applied to feel more involved. For me that wasn't why I applied. I applied to help other students feel more involved. And now one of my former residents is a hall council member and all of them are very active in school. Which makes me very proud.

From the very first week I feel as if I've been going non-stop. Which in a way is great and in another isn't. I get tired easily and running every minute makes life a little crazy.

But grab on because this year isn't even half over yet!

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.
