It's that point in your life, the one where you can freely drink in a nice restaurant and not worry about getting in trouble with the law. Turning 21, it's an age you've been waiting for since before you can remember. From constantly avoiding strict bars to pouring your "beverage" into a Polar Pop cup for that summer concert, not being 21 was a real struggle for you.
Now is the time you are turning that magical age. The night is one to remember (or not remember). Here are 21 things that happen on your 21st birthday as told by "The Office."
1. You wake up and realize you're finally 21
You made it! You feel like you can do anything and everything now.
2. You get a weekend (or week) of celebrating
It's your time. Cheers to 20-fun!
3. All of your gifts are alcohol-related
This could be a good or bad thing. Drink responsibly.
4. Your first time buying alcohol at the store turns into buying the store
You can't decide what you want to buy, so you just buy it all.
5. You don't have to pay for anything at the bars
It's everyone's goal to get you feeling some type of way.
6. The bouncer has got nothing on you
Yes, sir. I'd love to show you my ID.
7. Random people buy you drinks at the bar
I don't know you, but hell yeah, it's my 21st.
8. When it hits...
Mission accomplished.
9. "I can dance"
Every song is "your song," and you have the urge to get up and shake what your momma gave you.
10. You're ready to take on all the bars in the city
The amount of energy and confidence you have is on a whole other level.
11. Your friends buy a round of shots
Hey, you only turn 21 once!
12. And another one...
Even DJ Khaled saw this coming.
13. You are the highlight on everyone's Snap story
The camera is your worst enemy on this night.
14. "Happy birthday, let me buy you a drink!"
The point in the night where you just can't stand the thought of another Whiskey Sour. No way, Jose.
15. The bartender suggests drinking water
Your inner sass kicks in when people tell you that you need water.
16. You give yourself pep-talks to rally for the rest of the night
Look in the mirror and pull yourself together. You are a champ!
17. Getting food is one of the best parts of the entire night
Food never tasted so satisfying.
18. Going home seems like an obstacle course
Everything seems to be in your way. No it wasn't you, it was the couches fault.
19. You are the definition of struggle
Something as simple as drinking water seems to be the hardest thing you've ever had to do.
20. Your friends give you a recap of the night
"No, I didn't do that. It must've been someone else."
21. People ask you how your 21st was
A night that went by so fast, and then you realize you don't want to get any older now.
