Why I'm Excited For 2017
Crosswalk

While we can all agree that 2016 was a pretty bad year overall (at least it felt that way). There is no sense in dwelling on the past! 2016 was an alright year overall for myself, however, as I look towards the coming year, I am so excited for what it holds (in no particular order)!

1. I'll be going into my senior year at WPI.

I feel like I just moved in Morgan Hall last year. You're telling me I'm going into my LAST year in August?!

2. I'm seeing Panic at the Disco in March.

I have listened to Panic at the Disco since the dawn of my teenage angst self. And I got awesome seats too!

3. I'm going to PAX East again (a week later!).

And I get to meet more Roosterteeth people! I went last year for one day (Sunday) but now I get to go for two days (Friday and Saturday) with my boyfriend, Nick, and other friends!

4. I'll be celebrating 4 years with my boyfriend in August.

Nick is one lucky boy. But yeah, four years this August. That's what they call mental.

5. I'll hopefully be obtaining an internship for the summer.

Time to work! And apply my education!

6. Getting to see my sister graduate high school.

I keep forgetting about this one. But yeah, if my sister (who is Daria) was speaking at graduation, above is what she would say.

7. And then go to college!

Even though I have lived out of the house for almost 3 years now, I will be a mess when she's moving out.

8. Starting work on my MQP at WPI.

Time to do science and prove I know what I'm doing!

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.
