Last Sunday, it happened. After years and years of waiting, and being the butt of all my older friends jokes, I finally turned 21. Suddenly, the world was my oyster. Sixth street in Austin was my play ground; every bar we walked into had a free shot or a free drink for me and my friends. That was by far the most "Happy Birthday's" I've ever heard in my life. Everybody has their own 21st birthday story, and as they go, mine was pretty awesome. As the night went on, I found myself thinking an array of different things: "Why is it so hot in here?" and, "Seriously, when can we go get something to eat?" crossed my mind countless times. The next morning, I recapped all of my thoughts throughout the night, and put together this list. Which of the 21 did you relate to the most?
1. Wow, Drinks Are Expensive.
2. Why Did I Think Heels Were A Good Idea?
3. There Are So Many Choices.
4. What's in a ____?
5. He's Not Very Cute But It's A Free Drink....So....
6. This Bar Looked Way Cooler On The Outside.
7. Wow, This Bar Is Way Cooler Than I thought.
8. What do you mean you only make this here?
9. Can Anyone Remember Where We Saw Those Food Trucks?
10. Everything Looks Different In The Day Time.
11. No I Don't Want To Dance.
12. Hell yeah I want to dance!
13. I. Am. So. Sweaty.
14. Do I Smell Pizza?
15. " I can't remember the name of that drink from earlier...but it was pink..?"
16. There Are So Many People Here.
17. How Are those Girls Not Drenched In Sweat?
18. I'm Always Going To Pretend It's My Birthday.
19. Hmmm Taco's or Pizza?
20. Water. Need. Water.
21. Wow, Drinks Are Expensive.
For those of us that are 21, am I right? For those of you approaching your 21st birthday, stay safe and bring some aspirin!
