WOOOHOOO! FINALLY! Today's the official day I am no longer the "baby" of the friend group.

The big "twenty fun" is actually happening. Life has been hard these past 6 months, being the only 20 year old in what feels like this whole town. Living in a house with only 21 year olds and only hanging out with those who you have to sober cab for every Wednesday through Sunday night, is finally a thing of the past. Most people can understand the struggle of being stuck at home, watching Pretty Little Liars as we sit and wait for the 2am phone call to come and pick up the drunks from the bar. Now I'll be the one making the phone call to some poor soul, when it's far too cold to be walking out and about, or I can't properly function.

Aside from drinking my heart out, these are few things I'd like to do in my year of being 21.


1. Travel to a state I've never been to

Peace out, Minnesota

2. Swim with sharks

3. Get over a fear

True Life: I'm terrified of snakes

4. Snowboard/ ice skate

5. Scuba Dive

6. Make a snowman

Elsa?

7. Meet a blogger I look up to

8. Dance on a bar

Because I totally should work at Coyote Ugly.

9. Ride on a ferris wheel

I know... 21 years old and I hardly had a childhood...

10. Go to an Ice Bar

I hate the cold. But alcohol...

11. Have an article go viral

12. Go canoeing

13. Write a letter to my future self

A little TLC to future me is always healthy.

14. Paddle Board

15. See the Grand Canyon

16. Attend Oktoberfest

Maybe not in Germany, but the one in Wisconsin will do... For now

17. Get a certificate and teach a class in whatever seems fit at the time

This could be very interesting... Stay tuned

18. Go on a road trip

19. Go to an NFL game

GO MINNESOTA! GO VIKINGS! AMIRITE?

20. Inspire at least one person

21. Shower in a waterfall

Not an actual shower... I promise I'm not trying to kill the environment people

22. Go on a party bus

23. Donate blood

It's a beautiful day to save lives

24. Do something insanely spontaneous

25. Buy my own vehicle

ADULTING 101

26. Get a passport

27. Attend a Masquerade party

28. Get out of debt

Well.. debt that was my own fault *eyeroll*

29. Write a book

30. Go to Vegas

31. Convince a stranger to buy me a drink

32. Vlog

My life is kind of interesting... sometimes... Okay this might be a lie but who cares

33. Be completely, and entirely happy with who I have become

Because I've worked so damn hard to become her


Starting a little small, seeing as I'll be drunk most some of the year.

CHEERS!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
