It May Be Summer Break, But I'm Still Working

I want fun and relaxation but I have to work all summer long.

It May Be Summer Break, But I'm Still Working

I started my summer break on May 7, 2019. I didn't get home until around 4 pm. I sat at home, catching up with my family that I missed so much. The next day, I had to go to my job to be able to sign a paper from a mandatory in-service that I missed while I was away at school. Without signing it, I wouldn't be able to work until I do. So while I was waiting for the person that had to paper to come into work, I went around the nursing home visiting all the residents that I missed. Then I stayed in my mom's office until I had to sign the in-service paper.

Well another CNA had to go home because she had a fever. And one of my supervisors came and asked if I wanted to work that day. I never planned to. I was gonna sign that paper and spend time with my mom. I just wanted to visit especially since I just got home the day before. I wasn't even home for at least 24 hours that day. I haven't even unpacked yet. So I ended up working about six hours that day. I didn't mind that much because I had a partner that helped me and also I need the money. Being a broke college student isn't fun.

So my entire summer is going to consist of working and online classes. Hopefully, I am able to spend time with some friends because I do deserve it. I worked really hard this semester. I made sure I kept my grades up. I worked my hardest to make sure I was prepared for my music audition. Now I'm going to be working my hardest to pass these two summer classes. And I'm going to make sure I have money saved up for the fall semester.

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.
