The Last Six Months of Being Under 21

The last six months of being under 21 are the worst. All your friends are going out to bars every night while you're stuck at home drinking wine, alone. Counting down every day until you FINALLY join the 21 club with everyone else you know. Every under 21-year-old has experienced the struggles that being the youngest comes with.

1. When there is a house party.

Someone finally decides to pity all the under aged friends and gives up a night at the bar to throw a house party you BEG your friends to go with you instead of hitting up the local bar for the fifth night out. You just want to have fun too!

2. Trying to find a fake ID.

"I remember this girl that graduated high school like three years before me that I bumped into in the hall 6 years ago. She kinda has the same color hair as me. I bet she'd give me her ID, crap what was her name?"

3. When your friends go to the bar AGAIN.

Looks like it's another night of Vampire Diaries and drinking wine with my cat for me.

4. Going out to dinner.

"Yes! Finally some friend time that I can be included in. This will be so fun!" You think to yourself, until you get to the restaurant and everyone decides to get a round of tequila shots and a margaritas before we even get our coats off. I guess drinking sad water it is.

5. Having to pick your drunk friends up at the bar.

As if it's not bad enough that you can't go out with them, you have to leave your comfy bed that you haven't gotten out of in hours and pick them all up. Rounding up five drunks at the end of the night is a lot harder than you would think.

6. The day you finally turn 21.

You've been waiting for this day to come for what feels like forever. Its like Christmas but BETTER. Finally you can be apart of all the fun 21 year old activities!

Hang in there! It will all be over soon!

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
