2. watching R rated movies without feeling guilty

3. Flurting without having to get married

4. never wearing a dress or panty hose again

5. smiling sweetly at my mother while I tell her that I am happier now than I have ever been, and watching her look confused

6. learning about different beliefs and enjoying it
