The Realities of Turning 21 As Told by April Ludgate from Parks and Rec

You’ve been looking forward to legally drinking alcohol for as long as you can remember.

2. And even more so, you’ve dreamt of the most epic 21st birthday party since FOREVER because you can finally, legally, get as lit as you want!

3. So the time your 21st birthday rolls around, you’re beyond excited.

4. And before you know it, you’re so happy that you’ve made your first liquor store run, or bought your first legal drink!

5. And by now you’ve thrown back a few, so you’re really starting to feel good.

6. But after your birthday passes, you realize that being 21 actually isn’t all that much fun.

7. All of a sudden, you realize all of the responsibilities you have to take on.

8. And you start to realize that you’re literally draining your bank account for alcohol when you would rather be spending your money on food.

9. But wasn’t turning 21 supposed to be the best thing ever?

10. Guess you’ll just have to suffer for the rest of the year (and your life,) because whether you like it or not you are LEGAL baby! Enjoy.

Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
