97 babies... this is our year! This year will be full of celebrating 21st birthdays... I don't think anyone's liver is quite prepared for this year.

1. 97 Babies... it's our year

The year that the babies born in 97 are finally 21! So many drunk nights in our future celebrating the birthdays of our friends.

2. Waking up on your birthday

You only turn 21 once... gotta make sure everyone is aware that it's your birthday.

3. Your underage friend

Their day will come... the least they can do is at least make sure you don't die... right? They know you'd do the same for them.

4. Walking into the bar

5. Ordering your first drink

Not feeling picky... just bring me anything with alcohol in it!

6. Drinking with your older friends

As the baby of the friend group, you're excited to be drinking in the bar with all of your friends... while they've already had years of this experience.

7. Finally 21 with your best friend

Years of being the DD are over... now you won't have to get out of your bed at 2 am to go get your friends because you'll be stumbling right next to them walking home.

8. Drunk and hungry

*Someone asks if you want another drink*

9. Late night decisions

If you keep drinking, you can't get a hangover... right?

10. After 1:30 am

It's getting close to closing time yet you're still getting drinks handed to you.

11. Reality of getting home

You'll say you jumped out of a moving car... they'll say you fell out of the car when it was parked... tomatoe tomato

12. The morning after

The day after will be a rough one

13. Seeing friends the day after

Let's be real... we probably look as bad as we feel.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
