The Struggle Of Being The Last Friend To Turn 21

You are not alone.

The Struggle Of Being The Last Friend To Turn 21

1. Your night ends way earlier than expected.

All you want to do is catch a late night movie with your friends, but they are too cool for that now.

2. You try convincing yourself that Netflix & chill is much more fun than a night out with friends.

After watching an entire season of "Revenge" on Netflix in one night, it's time to reevaluate your life.

3. When you have to ask your friends to supply the juice and they respond like this:

Let's be real, when your friends turn 21, they feel much older than you. At least you can stay young and hip for a few more months.

4. When you order water at a restaurant, while everyone sips on a Margarita.

It's fine, you didn't want the extra calories anyway.

5. But you are WAY more mature than your friends, so why can't you have a drink?

6. FOMO, or "fear of missing out," is the worst and there is nothing you can do about it.

Listening to your friends talking about all of the cuties they saw downtown and you talk about what just happened on the latest episode of "Scandal."

7. You start asking your parents why you were born so late.

Why is your birthday months after all of your friends'? Please explain how this happened.

8. And then cry when they try to explain.

9. Your birthday seems so far away, even when you have a countdown on your phone.

Let's be honest: The more you think about it, the more it sucks.

10. But when you finally turn 21, it's going to be the best night of your life.

The best part of being the last one to turn 21: All of your friends can participate in the celebration of you turning into an adult and making horrible decisions during the last year of college.

For all of the ladies going through this struggle, you are not alone. Stay strong and you will overcome this great struggle.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
