The new year is (finally!) upon us. While 2016 was a great year of growth, challenges and shenanigans, I believe that the best is yet to come. As we embark on this new year, here are my top 20 wishes for you.

1. May you never get a speeding ticket.

2. May no one ever steal your parking spot.

3. May you never drop your phone in the toilet.

4. May no one mock your shower singing.

5. May you always have good hair days.

6. May you find more friends who are as weird as you.

7. May you never become gravity's victim by falling down a staircase.

8. May the dining hall have great food every time you go.

9. May you never get drenched by an unexpected rainstorm.

10. May the sun shine brightly enough to make you smile, but not enough to incinerate you.

11. May the only natural disaster be that in which you wreak havoc on your mortal enemies.

12. May you learn to forgive your mortal enemies before aforementioned natural disaster.

13. May you always have adequate WiFi and internet service.

14. May you find everyone you wish to stalk on social media this year.

15. May Google always bring up exactly what you were looking for.

16. May you never be fooled by fake news stories and clickbait.

17. May your student debt be miraculously paid off.

18. May you always get the perfect balance of butter and popcorn at the movie theater.

19. May you eat all the pizza you want without gaining weight you could do without.

20. And finally, may all your dreams come true - except for nightmares.

Here's to 2017 - a fresh year, a fresh start, and a fresh perspective on life!

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?

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.
