What Happens When You Finally Turn 21

And it's just around the corner. In just a few short days, I will finally be turning 21. I've been counting down the days for a fun night out with my friends! Here are some of my thoughts on what turning 21 will be like!

You can go out with all your friends

I don't know who this one applies to, but the majority of my friends at college are already 21. I'm considered the baby, so instead of staying in all alone I'll finally be able to go out to the bars with them! Woo hoo!

Learning about all the different drinks you can get

You've heard about the million different beers all the brewery's have to offer. You know all the different flavored margaritas. And now is your time to experiment! Trying different drinks and different combinations is an exciting part to turning 21!

People looking at you as an adult now

Turning 18 may make you an official adult, but in my opinion, it seems as though most people won't see you as an adult until you're 21. For some reason to ability to drink legally allows people to see you as a different person.

Even if you're hungover, you're still ready to go out again

So your first night of turning 21 may have gone as expected, but you're up and ready to go for the next night!

Feeling classy drinking wine

Whenever I see people drinking wine, I atomically see them as being classy people. Now, you can buy yourself a classy looking wine glass, probably a cheap bottle of some white wine, and pour yourself a nice glass.

Simply getting ready for the celebration

It's time to celebrate! Turning 21 is exciting so that means having as much fun as you can!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
