What can an 18 year old even do?

Enrique Fuentes, Editor

 

  Now that I’m eighteen, I wonder what can I legally do? I can get arrested and charged as an adult, but technically because of my skin color I could have done that at 16. I could vote, but does my political opinion really matter? Like really? Smoking cigarettes is gross, it’s not the 50’s no matter how much Mr. Trump wants it be. 18 year olds can legally serve on a jury but what if the guy has an agenda and now I’m on a hitlist? Now I’m dead and I have barely started living. Is that what you want America? We can can pawn stuff, get married and even write our own will! All of which sounds morbid. What fun things can 18 year olds do? “I’m excited to get my body pierced!” Madison Beckham ‘18.

 

  1. Get a tattoo
  2. Buy fireworks

  5. Bet at a casino
  6. Go to a NightClub
  7. Benefit from those subway ads asking you to do treatments for compensation
  8. Change your name
  9. Watch 18+ movies
  10. Get a Tinder

 

   Here are some somewhat fun things for you to do once you turn 18 and if you’ve been suffering to find something to do as an 18 year old, here you go! As Diane Ngyuen ‘19 says, “There’s literally so much you can do, I can’t wait until 18”
