Let's face it, being the youngest is the worst when it separates you from your friends. If you have a summer birthday like me or are the youngest because of the school cut-off, you're probably one of the last of your friends to turn 21. The month of your birthday has never mattered until this time in your life. It's what sets you apart from your friends and defines you as the "baby" of the group.
Turning 21 is the milestone moment you've been waiting for. It's the time when you finally become an adult and are of the legal drinking age. You've watched all of your friends turn 21 and have the best time of their lives, and all you can think about is the moment when you can finally partake in all of the fun things they're doing. You don't mind being the youngest at times, but this is one where you can't stand feeling left out. Here are 21 things that the last people to turn 21 will understand.
1. You have an extensive countdown until your 21st birthday
2. You’ve watched all of your friends turn 21 and your birthday feels like years away
Is it July yet?!?
3. Life will be so much more fun once you turn 21
4. By the time you turn 21, some of your friends are about to turn 22
5. You can’t even go out with your friends to celebrate their 21st birthdays
6. You always worry that your friends will want to go to the bars when you make plans with them
