Being one of the youngest in the grade doesn't seem so bad until sophomore year of high school comes around. When everyone seems to be getting their license and driving around town. Then there's you,still riding the bus or having someone drop you off at school, hashtag embarrassing. Next, college has begun and you're living up the best days of your life. Until then it hits you again,"youngin." You're one of the last to turn the big two-one. The under-twenty-one-year-old pack can only go on for so long then it's Hasta La Vista one by one by one. Slowly but surely, you know your birthday will come eventually.Just twenty years young waiting patiently for that countdown on your phone to say, "0 days 5 hours 14 minutes until you're twenty-one & fun!" But hey, on the bright side when you look back at these long months of awaiting your birthday it won't be as big of a deal.
1. All of your friends are 21.
2. You cannot wait to not rely on your friends to buy you booze.
3. Everyone calls you "the baby."
4. You have a countdown in your phone, "X days until I'm 21 and FUN!"
5. All of your friends keep telling you how much fun your 21st is going to be because "YOU'RE ONE OF THE LAST ONES TO BE LEGAL!"
6. You've already thought about what your first shot is going to be at midnight.
7. When your friends decide to go to the hardest bar to get into you've already called an Uber.
8. You contemplate even going out.
9. "Guys, lets just go to the frats tonight!" Fingers crossed they agree.
10. "Wait...you're still 20?!"
11. You've thought about your caption for your Instagram post so everyone will know you're finally 21 with a bomb-ass caption.
12. You have a slight break down when you get denied.
13. You're embarrassed at your denial but then you refer to late night food places to get you through your "sadness."
14. You're thankful for those friends that do what you want to do.
15. This is the last birthday for awhile that has some importance to it, besides 25 when you can rent a car...
16. "It's not terrible being one of the youngest in the grade." *lies*
17. "Being 21 is just a weight lifted off your chest.." *sigh and look away*
18. Your friends are already planning your 21st because they're awesome like that.
19. You've watched all your friends turn 21 and how their actual birthday is spent hungover and don't know what it feels like yet.
