Turning 21 is arguably one of the most monumental birthdays you will ever have. With being 21 years-old comes more freedom and power to do whatever you want. You officially officially become even more of an adult than you were before. Its a big year that should celebrated in a BIG way. However, leading up to the day you're filled with anticipation, excitement, and enthusiasm. There are so many things to look forward too. The week leading up to your 21st birthday could dreadful and even slow, but then again that just's any given week of the month.

You can't wait to roll into the liquor store to buy some dranks


You prepare for the catastrophe that is about to hit your bank account

You make plans to go out with every single one of your friends who are already 21

Thinking about your limit, and how many shots you think you handle before you die

You have your birthday outfit picked out days in advance

You have your ID out, hot and ready, to show waiters/bouncers

Thinking that these are the golden years and you are in your prime

Contemplating about what should you're first legal drink should be

Laughing at your underage friends who still have to wait for their 21st birthday

Lastly, getting ready to have the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER YET TO DATE

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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
