You Know You've Been Awaiting Summer When...

For everyone out there who felt like school was never going to end and summer couldn't get here fast enough.

  1. You’ve had a countdown to the last day of school since September. It was so satisfying to watch that 180 tick all the way down to
  2. Beach tomorrow!
  3. You burst out the front door of the building as soon as that final bell rings. You’ve done your time this year, and if anyone wants you back in this building, they're going to have to use force.
  4. You cleaned out your locker before spring break so you wouldn't have to impede your last-day escape. It's not like you stored much in there to start, but you refuse to stick around and clean it on the last day!
  5. You've been on autopilot ever since spring break ended and classes resumed. All you can think about is the blue skies and sunshine waiting for you, and math class is not about to step on your dreams of getting out there.
  6. You’ve been wearing crop tops constantly, even when it's cold. Nothing screams summer like a crop, and once you switch from sweaters, it's too late to go back.
  7. You're already a mainstay in the block party scene, and finals aren't even over.
  8. You've been completely ignoring classes in favor of day trips and concerts. Honestly, who wouldn't rather go to the beach than study?
  9. You already know which beaches are the most crowded and have planned your vacation accordingly.
  10. You've been spending lots of time outside tanning, even though the sun *technically* isn't at the right angle for optimum tans.
  11. You listen to the Summer Top 40 playlists from summers past, all day, everyday. What do Taio Cruz, Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj have in common? Other than being on your playlist, virtually nothing, but their songs bring back the joy of being free for the summer.
  12. You go out for ice cream and sit outside to eat it, even if it’s chilly out.
  13. You wonder why the sun is going down so early, and then you remember that 8pm is pretty late, considering it is still spring.
  14. You picked up this summer's must-reads the day they were released in preparation for your summer reading. We won't judge if you've already read them. Actually, we assumed you already did.

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.
