So many of us have downloaded the app TimeHop, an app used to look back on some of our memories that have graced the presence of various forms of social media over the years. Some of the memories are funny, some are sad and some just make us shake our heads. I had the app for a while before getting rid of it and then downloading it again because I missed it. While, I like looking back on my life and seeing how far I have come, there is just some things that I would rather not be reminded of. Pictures of people who I no longer talk to, wall posts from old friends and old tweets from darker times of my life. You could say well, you could have just not allowed it to access those tweets but I had forgotten about all of that so here I am feeling the exact way that I did then all of these years later. This app while being great in some aspects is just too painful sometimes. I am reminded of the things that I have worked so hard to forget and leave behind. The friendships that have severed for one reason or another, the things in my life that didn’t go as planned and the pictures that I would rather not have to look at anymore. I actually enjoy my life now and would rather not be reminded of the person that I used to be. I would rather look back at the good memories of my life and spend more time living in the moment rather then dwelling on the past. Life is way too short to dwell on what could have been. It is better to have lived a life full of good memories and good times. As I am writing this, I just deleted my TimeHop account and I have to say it felt pretty good. I realized that I don’t really need or want it anymore. It is a waste of time and space on my phone. I hate the way that it made me feel about myself. I would open it with curiosity about what memories would come up that day only to be left with sadness and regret of opening the app in the first place. I don’t care about the memories, the streak, abe the dino, I care about my wellbeing. I care about my mental health. I do not care about Time Hop. Good Riddance to this terrible app. I will not miss it!

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?

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.
