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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
