My 21st birthday is this Friday and, as a college graduate with an apartment and friends who turned 21 like forever ago, it's a little weird to be the baby of the friend group. Here are 12 inconvenient things that come with not being 21 just yet!

1. You constantly feel like a baby when you're spending time with your friends.

2. You also feel like a liability in every place there's drinking involved.

3. You constantly fear all your friends' plans involve going to bars.

4. And when they do, you either get looks of sympathy...

5. Or they change their plans to a night in to make you feel better.

6. Or they all just go out anyways and you're at home alone.

7. Even when you just go out to dinner, everyone orders are drink and there you are with a water.

8. Every time you go to a concert, you have to wear the black hand X's of shame.

9. Other people's 21st birthday celebrations are rough for you and you just sort of feel like.

10. And you always end up being the designated driver.

11. Or public transportation coordinator.

12. You have to remember that, you too someday will become one of the lucky ones.

So if you're the first or last of your friends to turn 21, try to remember that it's a rough world out there for us. Send all of us poor unfortunate souls good vibes until our long awaited birthdays!
